Abstract

Bleomycin, a water-soluble basic glycopeptide antibiotic, is well known for treatment against human squamous cell carcinoma and malignant lymphoma [4, 5, 14, 17]. Recently, Miyamoto et al. reported that a sequential combination of bleomycin and mitomycin C induced a drastic remission effect on advanced cervical cancer [7].
