The "D" in the antineoplastic combination, DICE is for dexamethasone. Denileukin is an antineoplastic BRM (biological response modifier) but is not used in this combination. Desipramine is a TCA (tricyclic antidepressant), and diazepam is a benzodiazepine anxiolytic. In DICE, the "I" is for ifosfamide, "C" is for cisplatin and "E" is for etoposide.
