Abstract

Twenty patients with recurrent and disseminated carcinoma of the cervix were treated with Bleomycin, 10 mg/m2 weekly and Methotrexate, 10 mg/m2 every fourth day. Twelve of the 20 (60%) had a greater than 50% shrinking of measured tumor masses lasting a median remission time of 7.5 months. The data suggest that combination protracted chemotherapy with these drugs of metastatic cervical cancer might improve the outlook of patients with this condition.
