title: Cytarabine, cisplatin, and etoposide chemotherapy for refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: A phase II trial of cytarabine, cisplatin, and etoposide was conducted in 38 patients with refractory stage III and IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. There were two complete and nine partial responses (32%) among 35 evaluable patients. Response rate in patients with large cell lymphoma was 45%. The dose-limiting toxic effect was myelosuppression in 66% of patients.
