==Overview==
A '''chemotherapy regimen''' is a [[regimen]] for [[chemotherapy]] defining the drugs to be used, their dosage, the frequency and duration of treatments and other considerations. In modern [[oncology]] almost all regimens in use combine several [[list of chemotherapeutic agents|chemotherapy drugs]] in [[combination chemotherapy]]. The majority of drugs used in cancer chemotherapy are [[cytostatic]].
 
A fundamental philosophy of [[oncology#Specialties|medical oncology]], including combination chemotherapy, is that different drugs work through different mechanisms, and that the results of using multiple drugs will be synergistic to some extent. Because they have different dose-limiting adverse effects, they can be given together at full doses in chemotherapy regimens.<ref>Mayer, RJ, Targeted therapy for advanced colorectal cancer -- more is not always better, N Engl J Med. 2009;360:623 which is a [possibly critical and not peer reviewed] comment to [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19196673 Chemotherapy, bevacizumab, and cetuximab in metastatic colorectal cancer.]</ref>
 
The first successful combination chemotherapy was [[MOPP (medicine)|MOPP]] introduced in 1963 for lymphomas.
 
The term "induction regimen" refers to a chemotherapy regimen used for the initial treatment of a disease. A "maintenance regimen" refers to the ongoing use of chemotherapy to reduce the chances of a cancer recurring or to prevent an existing cancer from continuing to grow.<ref>[http://www.cancer.net/all-about-cancer/cancernet-feature-articles/treatments-tests-and-procedures/explaining-maintenance-therapy Cancer.net - Explaining Maintenance Therapy]</ref>
 
Chemotherapy regimens are often identified by acronyms, identifying the agents used in the drug combination. However, the letters used are not consistent across regimens, and in some cases - for example, "BEACOPP" - the same letter combination is used to represent two different treatments.<ref>[http://hemonc.org/wiki/Hodgkin_lymphoma BEACOPP chemotherapy regimen]</ref>
 
There is no widely accepted naming convention or standard for the nomenclature of chemotherapy regimens. For example, either [[generic drug|generic]] or [[brand name]]s may be used for acronyms. This page merely lists commonly used conventions.
