Abstract
Systemic multiagent hemotherapy has been used to treat aggressive forms of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) with controversial results. Our objective was to retrospectively assess efficacy and toxicity of ESHAP (etoposide, cisplatin, high-dose aracytine, methylprednisolone) in patients with advanced CTCL. A total of 11 patients with aggressive primary CTCL, treated with the ESHAP protocol between 1995 and 2002, were studied. Two patients achieved complete remissions lasting 30+ and 6+ months, seven had partial remissions of short duration, one had stable disease and one experienced disease progression. ESHAP was poorly tolerated because of prolonged myelosuppression (91%) and infectious complications (82%). Our results suggest that ESHAP has a poor risk/benefit ratio in advanced CTCL because of the low number of complete remissions, the short duration of partial remissions and its high-grade toxicity.
