Abstract
Two patients with uterine cervical adenocarcinoma received two courses of intra-arterial cisplatin administration. In the specimens of cervix 24 or 48 h after chemotherapy, marked apoptosis were observed. These bulky cervical tumors almost disappeared, and good PRs were confirmed by CT before operation. Apoptosis which is observed in the tissues of cervical adenocarcinoma 24 or 48 h after intra-arterial infusion of cisplatin, might be a new criterion of this chemotherapy effect.
