We report a patient with VGPA stage IIA responding to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel (60 mg/m2 as an intravenous infusion) and cisplatin (70 mg/m2 as an intra-arterial infusion). At 3 weeks after completing one course of this regimen, the tumor size was reduced from 5.3 × 4.0 cm to 2.0 × 2.0 cm (81.1% reduction), revealed by computed tomography. Accordingly, the patient underwent radical hysterectomy, and there have been no signs of recurrence. Thus, the combination of docetaxel and cisplatin is suggested to be useful for neoadjuvant chemotherapy of cervical adenocarcinoma
