&lt;p&gt;I have used it for a couple of patients, in general Lomustine is not considered as effective as injectable agents and does require monitoring of the haemogram as well. I have not used it in epithelotropic lymphoma.&amp;nbsp; Its usually given every 3 weeks if I remember correctly, and response rates to lymphoma in general are moderate. If you do a pubmed search you&amp;#39;ll find some good articles.It is good for rescue not for induction although it could be completely different for epitheliotropic lymphoma. Second the advice to discuss with a specialist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers&lt;/p&gt;

She mentioned Lomustine a couple of times during oncology lecture at BSAVA. Have only tried treating one case of epitheliotrophic lymphoma (oddly in similar age Golden Retriever) - with high dose COP. Dog was quite ill after 1st week&amp;#39;s treatment so&amp;nbsp;owner didn&amp;#39;t want to continue - but the lesions went into remission for several months!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
