M Haid, and H L Homesley, and D R White, and M R Cooper, and F Richards, and H B Muss, and C L Spurr

Sixteen women with advanced carcinoma of the cervix were treated with adriamycin and methotrexate. Median age on entry into the study was 51 years. Seven subjects were premenopausal, 7 postmenopausal, and 2 were within 2 years of their last menstrual period at the time of diagnosis. Median time of inclusion in the study was 3.3 months. Median survival from initial diagnosis thus far has been 39.0 months. Median survival from the institution of therapy has been 5.8 months. Of 16 evaluable patients the following results were obtained: no complete remissions (0%), 2 partial remissions (12.5%), 1 patient with stable disease (6.2%). When used in dosages which do not precipitate dangerous toxicity this therapy is not effective and in the opinion of the authors should be abandoned.
