Abstract

A 64-year-old woman who had lung metastasis of cervical cancer after radiotherapy and hysterectomy was treated with a combination of CBDCA (300 mg/m2/4 w) and 5'-DFUR (1,200 mg/day x 4 days/week/week). She had complete remission for 10 months and showed SCC elevation again. She was treated with the same regimen and responded again. Major toxicities were appetite loss and anemia. She received more than 20 courses of chemotherapy without admission. Her Performance Status was been kept at 0 during the entire treatment. This regimen is thus tolerable, allowing an elderly woman to continue with good performance status.
