Remarks
Vindesine has activity in a wide variety of malignancies including colorectal, lung, breast, and esophageal carcinomas; it also has activity in lymphomas and leukemias, glioma, and melanoma. Neurotoxicity (dose-limiting and cumulative) and cross-resistance with vincristine have limited the usefulness of this agent. Although vindesine in combination with cisplatin is one of the most active regimens for non-small cell lung cancer.
