Abstract:
Despite availability of primary and secondary prevention measures, cervical cancer persists as one of the most common cancers among women around the world. Although early-stage disease can be cured with radical and even fertility-sparing surgery, patients with metastatic and recurrent cervical cancer have poor prognosis with historically limited treatment options and incurable disease. Significant advances in cervical cancer treatment have emerged as the result of clinical trials that have sought to determine the best therapy to prolong overall and progression-free survival. Most recently, trials that have involved angiogenesis blockade in addition to standard chemotherapy have demonstrated improved overall and progression-free survival. This review serves to highlight pivotal trials in chemotherapy development for advanced, metastatic, and recurrent cervical cancer that includes the paradigm-shifting work that demonstrates increased overall survival with angiogenesis blockade.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
