Abstract
The records of 46 children treated with ifosfamide between 1987-1994 were analyzed. 24 received the drug as first-line chemotherapy in combination with vincristine and etoposide or with adriamycin, vincristine and cyclophosphamide. Complete remission was achieved in 8/10 children with soft tissue sarcoma, 7/8 with Ewing's sarcoma, 2/2 with ovarian carcinoma and 2/2 with clear cell sarcoma of the kidney. 22 children in whom first-line chemotherapy failed were then treated with ifosfamide and etoposide. Complete remission was achieved in 7/10 children with osteosarcoma, 1/2 with Wilms' tumor and 1/3 with neuroblastoma.
