Abstract

Eight children with state III or IV neuroblastoma were treated with courses of chemotherapy consisting of nitrogen mustard (6 mg/m2), vincristine (2 X 1.5 mg/m2), doxorubicin (40 mg/m2) and dimethyl-triazeno-imidazolecarboxamide (850 mg/m2) every three weeks. Three children died after a median survival of 8 (+/-5) months. Five children (62%) have now survived for a medium duration of 21 (+/-16) months without clinical evidence of disease. These results are far better than previously-achieved survival rates at our department.
