## BACKGROUND. Approximately 30% of breast carcinoma patients with negative lymph nodes die of their disease. Biologic markers such p53 protein and c-erb B-2 have been related to tumor progression, but their prognostic value remains controversial. ## METHODS. Two large series of a total of 613 ly
From 1991 to 1997, we have treated 78 newly diagnosed patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with a modified CHOP regimen in which epirubicin (60 mg/m 2 ) was used in place of doxorubicin (50 mg/m 2 ), i.e. CEOP (cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine and prednisolone). The median age wa
