〈Case Reports〉Effective combination chemotherapy of taxanes and platinum in advanced uterine cervica cancer: a case report

Abstract

[Abstract]　The prognosis of advanced cervical cancer remains poor. Recently, the significant activity of paclitaxel has been shown in advanced cervical cancers. We report a patient with advanced uterine cervical cancer who responded to neoadjuvant combination chemotherapy with taxanes and platinum. The patient was a 53-year old woman who presented with pollakisuria, lumbago, and pain in the anus and inguinal lesion, without genital bleeding. The findings indicated a clinical diagnosis of stage 4b disease with lung metastasis. We performed neoadjuvant combination chemotherapy with 7 courses of TC therapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) and 7 courses of DP therapy (docetaxel and cisplatin) with a good effect.Mituhashi, Youji, Ohmura, Gen, Amano, Youk
