Epipodophyllotoxin (VP-16-213) was administered to 9 patients with mycosis fungoides in various stages, most of them in the advanced tumour stage. In 4 of the patients VP-16 was combined with cyclophosphamide. VP-16 alone or in combination with cyclophosphamide was capable of inducing remission initially in all cases, complete in 2, partial in 3 and improvement to a lesser degree in the remaining 5 patients, but it was unable to maintain the remission. The induced remission has to be upheld by other agents, possibly added to VP-16.
