Abstract
A case of a female with advanced squamous carcinoma of the vagina is presented. Complete disappearance of the primary tumor and involved inguinal lymph nodes was achieved with three courses of the cis-platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen BMP administered prior to radiotherapy. The encouraging result obtained warrants the use of this combined treatment modality in other patients.
