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 chemotherapy drugs in combination chemotherapy. Acronyms often identify the individual agents used in combination chemotherapy regimens. 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.
