Liposome‐encapsulated doxorubicin in combination with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone and rituximab in patients with lymphoma and concurrent cardiac diseases or pre‐treated with anthracyclines

Abstract

The replacement of doxorubicin with its non-pegylated liposomal pharmaceutical analogue was well tolerated and highly effective in inducing remission in this group of patients at high risk for cardiac toxicity or previously treated with anthracyclines. Its high tolerability and low incidence of cardiac events (only one patient) warrants further studies to confirm the clinical benefits of liposomal doxorubicin in this subset of patients.
