    Abstract:
    We review the cases of 31 patients with stage IVb or recurrent cervical adenocarcinoma who were treated with combination chemotherapy utilizing mitomycin C, etoposide, and cisplatin (MEP). The total response rate was 16.1% (95% confidence intervals (CIs), 5. 5 to 33.7%) with 4 patients having a complete response (CR) and 1 having a partial response. In patients with no prior chemotherapy, the response rate was 26.7% (95% CIs, 7.8 to 55.1%) with 2 of these CR patients surviving over 3 years, 1 a disease-free survival. A marked response was found in distant recurrent lesions. The major toxicity was myelosuppression. Forty-five percent of patients had leukocytopenia above grade 3; thrombocytopenia and anemia were not common. In patients with cervical adenocarcinoma and no prior chemotherapy, there was a moderate response to MEP therapy.
