title: [Immunochemotherapy of recurrent and advanced uterine and ovarian cancer using cisplatin].
abstract: A combination immunochemotherapy regimen containing cisplatin (20 mg, days 1-5), peplomycin (20 mg, days 2, 9, 16), +/- vinblastine (5 mg, days 1, 2), and picibanil (3-5 KE/week) was performed in twelve patients with advanced or recurrent uterine and ovarian cancers under intravenous hyperalimentation (IVH), except one patient receiving peplomycin by a continuous infusion method using IVH bag (10 mg/day for 5 days). This regimen was repeated every three weeks. Five (71.4%) of seven evaluable patients showed partial response. No patients yielded the complete disappearance of disease. No severe and lethal pulmonary or renal dysfunction occurred and all was well tolerated. In a regimen without vinblastine, myelosuppression, especially thrombocytopenia, occurred later compared to the regimen including vinblastine.
