BACKGROUND: @entity2109 is frequent a @entity5 in the developing countries where its treatment is based on non-intensive chemotherapy protocols. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness and the @entity137 of a non-intensive chemotherapy protocol combining @entity786 and @entity1499 in @entity1 with @entity2109 of the maxillofacial region. PROCEDURE: A retrospective descriptive study was carried out in @entity1 with @entity2109 of maxillofacial region who received at least one weekly treatment with intravenous @entity786 and @entity1499 between 1999 and 2006 in a university teaching hospital in Burkina Faso. The demographic characteristics of the @entity1 , the effectiveness and the @entity137 of the treatment were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 58 @entity1 were included. The mean age was 7.2 years. According to Murphy's staging, 28 @entity1 (48%) were at stage I, 18 (31%) at stage II, 11 (19%) at stage III and 1 (2%) at stage IV. Among 28 @entity1 who received all the cycles of the protocol, 21 (75%) achieved complete remission, 6 (21%) had partial remission and 1 (4%) had progressive disease. The major complications during the treatment were @entity1210 and @entity417 . The mortality rate was 19% (11/58). CONCLUSION: Non-intensive chemotherapy protocol with @entity786 and @entity1499 could be an alternative to intensive chemotherapy protocols for the management of the stage I-III endemic @entity2109 in developing countries.

@entity2109 of maxillofacial region: results of induction treatment with XXXX plus @entity1499 in West Africa.
