Eleven patients who had advanced cancer of the cervix were treated with combination chemotherapy containing Cisplatin as a primary treatment. The cases were: 3 stage II B N+, 2 stage III not involving the bladder, 3 stage III involving the bladder and 3 stage IV. The response rate was 40% with 6 patients responding. The response was better than 50% in 3 and there were 5 failures. In the 6 patients where the treatment was helpful, 2 could have extended surgery whereas the others had follow-up radiotherapy without developing urinary fistulae. Just as it to be found in the literature, it was not possible to pick out prognostic criteria for sensitivity to chemotherapy. A protocol for treatment is suggested, starting with a therapeutic test of chemotherapy. If this is successful it should be followed by extended surgery or radiotherapy. It if is not successful, conventional treatment with radiotherapy will be undertaken. It is essential to carry out multicentre studies in future to find out whether this attitude is going to be successful.
