High‐dose cyclophosphamide and adriamycin with DTIC maintenance for metastatic soft tissue sarcomas

Abstract
Intensive chemotherapy with high-dose cyclophosphamide and adriamycin with DTIC [5(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide] maintenance was given to 12 patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcomas. A partial response rate of 25% was seen; the same results have been achieved with single-agent therapy. Because of substantial toxicity without improved efficacy, the trial of high dose therapy was halted.
