title: [A patient with recurrent uterine cervical cancer successfully treated by combined modality therapy including local injection of anticancer agents based on CDDP].
abstract: The patient was a 77-year-old woman who had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy following the diagnosis of uterine cervical cancer at the age of 57. A recurrent tumor was detected on the anterior surface of the right iliopsoas muscle and fine needle aspiration of the tumor revealed squamous cell carcinoma. A needle was inserted into the tumor under transabdominal ultrasound guidance, and anticancer agents, chiefly cis-diamminedichloroplatinum [II] (CDDP), were injected. The patient also received systemic chemotherapy (CAP therapy) and radiotherapy. Subsequently, computed tomography showed a 73% reduction in the size of the tumor. A mass 7 cm in diameter was still present on the anterior surface of the iliopsoas after treatment, but tumor markers fell to normal levels. The patient is presently receiving UFT (600 mg/day) as maintenance therapy. At 48 months after recurrence, there has been no increase in the tumor size or tumor marker levels, and the performance status is grade 0. In conclusion, a good outcome was achieved by local injection of anticancer agents combined with systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and there were few side effects.
