Abstract
Twenty four patients with advanced cancer of cervix were submitted to sequential chemotherapy 5FU and MTX. The response rate was 85% in stage III and 50% in stage IV. Overall response rate was 75%. Patients who had not received radiotherapy earlier responded better than those who had received it earlier. This easy and economical modality has importance in view of late reporting and advanced stage of disease encountered in our set up.
