Infusion Chemotherapy for Soft Tissue Sarcomas
@inproceedings{Benjamin1983InfusionCF, title={Infusion Chemotherapy for Soft Tissue Sarcomas}, author={Robert S. Benjamin and Boh Seng Yap}, year={1983} }
Adriamycin has formed the backbone of sarcoma chemotherapy since its introduction into clinical practice. The pioneering studies in this field by the late Dr. Jeffrey Gottlieb demonstrated modest but definite improvement in response rate, remission duration and survival when Adriamycin was combined with DIC and slight further improvement with the addition of cyclophosphamide [1–5]. Other drugs have been relatively ineffective, and the CyVADIC regimen, introduced in 1973, remains the standard of…

There is the suggestion that responses may occur to ifosfamide in patients who progress on doxorubicin and the importance of treating all patients with soft tissue sarcomas in clinical trials is stressed.

Considering this minimal advantage with the combination it is not surprising that several cooperative groups — ECOG and EORTC — have continued to use single-agent Adriamycin as their ‘standard’ of comparison, for first line treatment.

A complete remission can only be achieved in a limited number of patients, but there are indications that some of them may be cured, and the search for new active drugs for the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas continues.

Since an oncologist may not wish to stop treatment of an individual patient at an arbitrary level, a considerable investment of time and resources has been made in an effort to extend the use of adriamycin or develop analogs with diminished cardiotoxicity to accomplish the same aim.

Pulmonary and soft tissue metastases were more responsive than bone and liver metastases and CYVADIC toxicity was predominantly limited to myelosuppression, vomiting, fever of unknown origin, and neuropathy.
