A fundamental philosophy of combination cancer therapy is that different drugs work through different cytotoxic mechanisms. Because they have different dose-limiting adverse effects, they can be given together at full doses in chemotherapy regimens.
The term "induction regimen" refers to a chemotherapy regimen which is used for the initial treatment of a disease.
Chemotherapy regimens are often identified by acronyms, identifying the agents used in combination.
