BACKGROUND
Disseminated neuroblastoma after infancy has a dismal prognosis; long-term survival with conventional therapy occurs in approximately 10% of cases.
METHODS
Between 1985 and 1992, we followed a strategy aimed to achieve remission with an induction combination of intensive chemotherapy,
Fifteen patients (median age 62, with a mean Karnofsky performance status of 70%) presenting with advanced colorectal carcinoma were included in the study. The treatment combination consisted of 5-fluorouracil (800 mg/m2 in a 30 min infusion, days 1 and 8), teniposide (80 mg/m2 in i.v. push, day 1),
In early 1984, we treated 13 consecutive patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) using an induction regimen of rapidly rotated combinations of prednisone, vincristine, asparaginase, teniposide (VM-26), cytosine arabinoside, and high-dose methotrexate (MTX) followed by leucovorin rescue.

METHODS
Thirty patients suffering from NSCLC with brain metastasis were prospectively included in this study. Twenty-four patients had
Topoisomerase I and II are normal host enzymes that are found in the nucleus of mammalian cells and are required for normal DNA replication and cellular division. The enzymes create and then repair single stranded nicks in cellular DNA. The nicks allow for the untangling and relaxation of
