Chemotherapy regimens
Chemotherapy regimens are often identified with acronyms, identifying the agents used in combination. Unfortunately, the letters used are not consistent across regimens, and in some cases (for example, "BEACOPP") the same letter is used to represent two different treatments. Because of this, there is not a naming standard for chemotherapy regimens, and this page merely represents commonly used conventions.
The term "Induction regimens" refers to a chemotherapy regimen which is used for the initial treatment of a disease.
