title: The results of Vepesid therapy in the treatment of malignant lymphomas.
abstract: Twenty-three patients with Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were treated by Vepesid. The dose of the drug was 150 mg/m2 daily for 5 consecutive days. This schedule was repeated every 3 weeks. The percentage and response were estimated according to WHO scale. There were complete responses and 6 partial responses lasting 13.7 and 5 months, respectively, on the average. The results of Vepesid therapy depended on the efficiency of previous treatment.
