title: VP-16, ifosfamide, and methotrexate combination chemotherapy for aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas after failure of the LNH 84 regimen.
abstract: A total of 20 patients with intermediate or high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas who failed to LNH 84 regimen were treated with a combination of VP 16, ifosfamide and methotrexate (VIM regimen). Nineteen patients are evaluable for response. Eight patients (42%) achieved complete responses and four (21%) attained partial responses. Most of the complete responders are still in remission with a follow-up of more than 30 months for 5 patients.
