Summary Sixteen patients with extensive non-small carcinoma of the lung were treated with methotrexate, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and adriamycin. Cyclophosphamide and adriamycin were administered after pretreatment with amphotericin B. Amphotericin B-related toxicity was mild; cytotoxic chemotherapy-related toxicity was tolerable. The partial response rate was 12.5% and median survival was between 19 and 20 weeks. Response rate and survival were not superior to those of a similar drug combination lacking amphotericin B.
