Sixteen patients with metastatic or recurrent carcinoma of the cervix were treated with combination chemotherapy consisting of mitomycin-C, vincristine, bleomycin, and cisplatin. Seven of 14 (50%) evaluable patients responded. In 2 patients all measurable disease resolved. Median duration of response was 4.5 months. Toxicity was severe and consisted of myelosuppression, pulmonary fibrosis, nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, asthenia, and fever. Two treatment-related deaths occurred. This combination chemotherapy regimen appears to have a response rate similar to other cisplatin containing regimens. Response durations were short and toxicity was severe.
