Malignant histiocytosis. Response to VP-16-213 and cytosine arabinoside

R Vera Jr et al. Cancer. .

Abstract

A patient with malignant histiocytosis who relapsed after receiving an Adriamycin (doxorubicin)-containing combination and radiation therapy subsequently had a complete remission on VP-16-213 and cytosine arabinoside. She remains free of disease 32 months after achieving a complete remission. VP-16-213 and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) deserve further evaluation in the treatment of this neoplasm.
