โฆ Synopsis
Sarcomatoid renal adenocarcinomas are rare, invariably fatal tumors. There is only one report of treatment of this tumor with chemotherapy. We report a case of an advanced sarcomatoid renal adenocarcinoma treated with chemoimmunotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, Adriamycin (doxorubicin), DTIC, BCG, and sarcoma viral oncolysate. The patient had an objective response with a marked reduction in the size of the tumor mass. The residual tumor was removed surgically, and the patient remains in complete remission two years after the diagnosis was made.

Thirty-one patients with small cell bronchogenic carcinoma were treated with a regimen of cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin and vincristine. Padiotherapy was given to patients with limited disease. Nonspecific immunotherapy consisting of BCG scarification was administered after each chemotherapy course.
