Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy is a relatively straightforward approach to overcome drug resistance. It appears to be more effective than standard chemotherapy in the salvage treatment of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphomas and of relapsing germ cell cancer. Non-randomized studies have raised hope that it might improve treatment results in (other) solid tumors as well, particularly in the adjuvant treatment of high-risk breast cancer1. Prospective, randomized studies of high-dose therapy are currently in progress, but many more will be required to define its proper role in solid tumors.
