VAMP regimen
VAMP regimen or VAMP chemotherapy is a combination chemotherapy regimen including Vincristine.
VAMP chemotherapy can refer to any of :
- Vincristine for 4 days, doxorubicin (Adriamycin) for 4 days and methylprednisolone for 5 days per cycle.[1] e.g. for kidney disease. - With the addition of cyclophosphamide this becomes C-VAMP.[2][3]
- Vincristine, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), methotrexate and prednisone used in combination with radiation therapy for the treatment of low-risk childhood Hodgkin lymphoma.[4][5]
