  • Title: Bleomycin, cisplatinum and ifosfamide infusion chemotherapy in advanced/recurrent cancer of cervix.
    Author: Singhal RM, Jindel R, Gupta AK.
    Journal: Indian J Cancer; 1993 Dec; 30(4):158-63. PubMed ID: 7515843.
    Abstract:
    Twenty one patients age ranging from 26-70 years, with biopsy proven recurrent/advanced carcinoma of the cervix were treated with bleomycin, cisplatinum and ifosfamide infusion therapy. 88% patients reported subjective improvement. The objective response rate was 66.6% (Complete 38% and partial 28.5%). Side effects were mainly nausea, vomiting, and alopecia. Treatment related fever was common. Hematuria and reversible encephalopathy with ifosfamide were seen in three and two patients respectively. These results indicate that BIP infusion chemotherapy is an active and safe combination for treatment of advanced/recurrent cervical cancer.
