It is named for the four pharmaceuticals used in combination - mustargen, oncovin, procarbazine and prednisone. It is rarely used now as more effective therapies have been developed. However, it is still used for cases where the patient relapses, or where the patient has conditions that rule out other multi-drug regimens, such as allergies, lung problems or heart problems.

| abstract | - MOPP (Mission Oriented Protective Posture) (acronym pronounced as "mop") is a protective gear used by military personnel in a toxic environment, e.g., during a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) strike:
* Mask carrier — Protects the mask from damage. It is usually worn as part of battle gear for easy access and usually contains a technical manual, extra filter, spare parts, chemical detection papers, and nerve agent antidote kits (NAAK).
* Protective mask — Commonly referred to as a gas mask or pro mask. It is designed to filter harmful chemical and biological agents, as well as irradiated particles from the air to allow the wearer to breathe safely. No protective masks filter out gasses such as carbon monoxide, and in situations requiring that level of protection, external breathing apparatus is employed.
* Over garments — Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology (JSLIST) Specially designed clothing to be worn over the normal uniform. These garments are designed to allow maximum airflow for cooling while keeping chemical and biological agents from reaching the skin of the wearer. Some are equipped with a charcoal lining to neutralize some agents. Military personnel often equip over garments with strips of M9 Detector Paper to identify chemical agents on the battlefield they might come in contact with.
* M9 Detector paper is worn to detect chemical liquid agents that a soldier may bush against while in MOPP gear. It is worn in three different area of the suit. It is worn on your dominant arm, bicep area, on the wrist of your opposite arm, and on your dominant leg, shin area. It is also place on lower levels of your vehicles for detection purposes.[citation needed]
* Gloves and overboots — (JSLIST) Highly durable rubber, designed with combat operations in mind. Used to prevent contact with agents.
