(CAMP)--effective four-drug combination chemotherapy for

abstract...
Twenty-three patients with metastatic non-oat cell
bronchogenic carcinoma (MNOBC) were treated with
cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, methotrexate, and procarbazine
(CAMP) after radiation therapy. Objective responses were seen
in 11 of 23 patients (48%) with a projected median survival
time of 12.5 months for responding patients and patients with
stable disease. Lung, liver, and cutaneous sites of
involvement proved to be highly responsive; bone involvement
was less responsive. CAMP is an effective combination in the
treatment of MNOBC and its use in patients with less advanced
disease should be explored.
