    therapy for locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix. American 
    Journal of Clinical Oncology.  9(1):12-4, 1986 Feb. 
  abstract...
    Sixteen non-pretreated patients with locally advanced cervical 
    cancer (FIGO Stage IIIb) were treated with two 3-week cycles 
    of platinum, bleomycin, and methotrexate (PBM), which were 
    followed by radiation therapy. Response to both modalities was 
    seen in 11 patients (69%), and three patients (19%) had a 
    progression-free survival of more than 2 years. Radiation 
    therapy was proven to be feasible after two cycles of PBM 
    combination chemotherapy.
