title: [Combination chemotherapy with ifosfamide (or cyclophosphamide), adriamycin, cis-platinum and peplomycin (IAPP) for hormonally resistant metastatic prostatic cancer].
abstract: From January, 1986 to April, 1990, combination chemotherapy with ifosfamide (or cyclophosphamide), adriamycin, cis-platinum and peplomycin was performed in 15 patients with hormonally resistant metastatic adenocarcinoma. Three patients had partial response (PR) and 9 remained objectively stable (ST). The median response duration of PR + ST (12) was 5.7 months (range 2.8 to 18.0+). Three patients progressed while on this therapy. Of 8 patients with prior treatment of chemotherapy or chemo-hormonal therapy, 6 achieved an objective response (2 PR, 4 ST). Severe toxicities occurred in 2 patients. One died of lung fibrosis induced by peplomycin and the other received urinary diversion for persistent hemorrhagic cystitis. These results compare favorably with previous reports of chemotherapy treatment of metastatic prostatic cancer patients who failed on hormonal manipulation. However, careful treatment is needed for lung fibrosis and hemorrhagic cystitis.
