title: [Two cases of adenosquamous cell carcinoma of advanced cervical cancer treated by carboplatin-based chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell autotransplant].
abstract: In two cases with adenosquamous cell carcinoma of advanced cervical cancer, carboplatin-based chemotherapy was given intraarterially from the internal iliac artery as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) were harvested. After the operation, conventional intravenous chemotherapy with PBSC autotransplant was performed. PBSCs were mobilized by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and G-CSF administration. By the apheresis procedures, 0.7-2.6 x 10(6)/kg CD34 positive cells were obtained. They had no severe side effects from intravenous chemotherapy with PBSCT, and they were free of disease 20 months. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and G-CSF administration may be capable of mobilization of PBSCs, and chemotherapy with PBSCT may be useful in radioresistant advanced adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervical cancer.
