Abstract Twenty-four evaluable patients with advanced, persistent or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix were treated with 750 mg/m2 of gallium nitrate (NCS # 15200) every three weeks. No patient had prior cytotoxic chemotherapy. Two patients had a partial response (8.3%), ten patients had stable disease (41.7%), and twelve (50%) had increasing disease. The 95% upper confidence bound for response is 24.0%. The major toxicities were nausea, vomiting and anemia. Gallium nitrate has minimal activity in patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.
