CHOP is an acronym that stand for four medications:
- Cyclophosphamide
- Hydroxydoxorubicin (Brand name Adriamycin)
- Oncovin (Brand name Vincristine)
- Prednisone
This is one of the most commonly prescribed chemo regimens for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Sometimes Rituxan is prescribed as well; then it's referred to as CHOP-R.
