The results for those not at high risk "were achieved with high cumulative doses of dexamethasone and vincristine, but without the use of anthracyclines, etoposide, cyclophosphamide or cranial irradiation, therefore minimizing the risk of side effects," they said in a news release from the journal. The survival rate for the high-risk group also was described as favorable.
