Abstract
Bleomycin and mitomycin C have been reported to be active against advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Miyamoto et al reported a total response rate of 93% and complete response in 80% of the first 15 patients treated by sequential combination of bleomycin and mitomycin C. Updated results by Miyamoto reveal an 88.3% total response rate with a 65.3% complete response. However, others have reported poor results using the protocol outlined by Miyamoto. Using this protocol, 11 patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma were treated at the authors' institution. There were no complete responses: one patient with partial response (9%), four with stable disease (36%), and six (55%) with progressive disease.
