Chemotherapy protocol consisting of ... /Bleomycin, Doxorubicin, Mechlorethamine, Prednisone, Procarbazine, Vinblastine, Vincristine/; used in the therapy of Hodgkins disease.

When associated with conditioned and limited (not adjuvant) radiotherapy, ABVD and MOPPEBVCAD /Bleomycin, Doxorubicin, Lomustine, Mechlorethamine, Melphalan, Prednisone, Procarbazine, Vinblastine, Vincristine, Vindesine/ were superior to Stanford V chemotherapy in terms of response rate and FFS and progression-free survival. Patients were irradiated less often after MOPPEBVCAD, but this regimen was more toxic. ABVD is still the best choice when it is combined with optional, limited irradiation.
