    Abstract:
    A patient with neck lymph node metastasis from squamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix was treated by immunotherapy and neo-adjuvant intraarterial infusion chemotherapy (OK-432 ic, etoposide 25 mg/body x 7 days po, CDDP 100 mg/m2/5 hr iA, CPM 200 mg/body iv, THP 50 mg/m2/2 hr iA). Three courses of the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy were given. After the first course, the neck metastatic tumor appeared remarkably small. After the second, the neck tumor disappeared and the uterine tumor appeared small and to have good movement. Hysterectomy was performed one month after. Each tissue platina concentration (microgram/cm3) is 9.12 uterus cervix, 10.9 uterus corporis, 8.17 fallopian tube, 14.0 ovarium, 1.47-0.88 pelvic lymph node. This patient was treated with irradiation after operation, and is presently in a state of cytological complete remission. Now she continues maintenance immunochemotherapy with UFT and OK-432 with a home doctor.
