โฆ Synopsis
A combination of actinomycin D and vincristine has been used to treat 92 patients with various kinds of cancer. The best results were obtained in patients with lung cancer, with a n initial response rate of 6096 and an average duration of remission of over 8 months. Some patients with sarcomas and melanomas also responded for shorter periods. This regimen appeared to be harmful in some patients with breast cancer.
