In Japan the regimen with peplomycin has been mainly used for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). But recently, a regimen with cisplatin, particularly the combination of cisplatin and adriamycin (CA chemotherapy) has been used for the treatment of SCC, and a better prognosis has resulted Since CA chemotherapy is very effective for not only SCC, but also basal cell carcinoma (BCC), we think it is a prominent neoadjuvant therapy for SCC and BCC. We have used CA chemotherapy for multiple lung metastasis of BCC over the past six years, and three times PR was obtained, with survival so far.
