A 45-year-old Japanese woman with a bulky (75 x 40 mm) stage 2a uterine
cervical cancer was treated with 87 mg (50 mg/m2) of nedaplatin (254-S)
intravenously and 120 mg (70 mg/m2) of cisplatin (CDDP) intraarterially
with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). She received three courses
of this combination chemotherapy and showed a complete response, as
confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. A radical hysterectomy was
performed and the pathological findings revealed the absence of carcinoma
cells. This type of combination chemotherapy seems to be effective for the
treatment of locally advanced uterine cervical cancer.
