Thirty patients were evaluable for response. The overall response rate was 70%. Surgical'excision rate after preoperative chemotherapy was 93%. Total surgical excision rate was 70%. Median survival time was 15 months, one year survival rate was 67%. The main toxicity was hematological, thrombocytopenia of grade III-IV appeared in 46% course of treatment, but it did not lead to hemorrhage.Conclusions:
