[Use of prospidin in the combination chemotherapy of recurrences of generalized forms of lymphogranulomatosis].

Combined chemotherapy (prospidin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone) (PCVP) was given to 32 patients with recurrent generalized forms of Hodgkin's disease. Remission was reliably established in 75% of patients; its mean duration was 2.8 months. 15 patients received repeated courses of complex chemotherapy, including prospidin; it proved effective in 12 of them. Mean duration of remission was 2.7 months. Toxic side--effects were insignificant and subsided quickly. The results of the study point to the effectiveness of PCVP scheme application in patients with recurrent generalized forms of Hodgkin's disease.
