Patients were stagedand locally advanced inoperable cases (Stage IB-IVA) were given different types of chemotherapy.Thereafter subjective and objective assessment was made according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria of tumor response.Results: Majority of cases (60.0%) presented in stage IIB of disease by International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification. Commonest symptom was postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, 70.0% cases. 68.0% & 56.0% cases showed complete response (CR) onchemotherapy and radiotherapy respectively. Stage IIB patients showed the best response with CR in 70.0% & partial response (PR) in 16.7% cases. Colposcopic evaluation on 12 -18 months follow up showed 08 to be disease free, with decrease in size of tumor. Conclusion: Chemotherapy is an effective mode of therapy and can be considered as an adjunct to surgery or radiotherapy to improve the overall survival of cancer cervix patients.
