✦ Synopsis
Polychemotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas has been reported to produce response rates ranging from 24--60% (1, 2). Immunotherapy has reportedly prolonged survival after surgery for some tumors and enhanced the effectiveness of chemotherapy (3, 4). This report summarizes our preliminary experience with the combination of cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, imidazole carboxamide (DTIC), and actinomycin D (CAIA) with or without methanol extraction residue of BCG (MER) in patients with advanced sarcomas.
