ICE Chemo

ICE Chemo

ICE is a combination chemotherapy regimen employing three drugs: "i"fosfamide (trade name: Ifex), "c"arboplatin (trade name: Paraplatin®), and "e"toposide (trade names: VP-16, VePesid®). This regimen is commonly used to treat primary progressive and poor-risk recurrent lymphomas. ["Follow-up Care & Relapse." Lymphoma Research Foundation. http://www.lymphoma.org/site/pp.aspx?c=chKOI6PEImE&b=1574015&printmode=1] .

In the last few years, it has become more common to include the drug rituximab alongside the ICE protocol. Rituximab is an immunotherapy drug that binds to and helps destroy B cells.
