Chemotherapy Regimens

Here is a list of some of the most common chemotherapy regimens used for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

If the regimen you are looking for is not listed then just click here or on the link to your left to go to our Questions page and we'll do our best to give you additional information about it.

The names in brackets are alternate names for the drug. Most often the Brand name. For example Doxorubicin is known by the brand name of Adriamycin which is why it often appears as the letter A and not D. (It also appears as the letter H since its longer name is Doxorubicin Hydrochloride)

2-CDA	2- Chlorodeoxyadenosine
ABVD	A = Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) B = bleomycin, V = vinblastine, D = dacarbazine.
