Cervical cancer, a leading global health concern, is managed through surgery, chemotherapy, and novel therapies like immune checkpoint inhibitors. This review details current cervical cancer treatments and recent advancements.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Gynecologic Oncology
Background:
- Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer globally in women.
- Current management involves surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and newer systemic therapies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive overview of current cervical cancer management.
- To discuss recent practice-changing updates in cervical cancer treatment.
Main Methods:
- Review of current literature on cervical cancer treatment modalities.
- Analysis of recent advancements in surgical, radiological, and systemic therapies.
Main Results:
- Standard treatments include surgery, radiotherapy, and platinum-based chemotherapy.
- Novel therapies, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors, show significant survival benefits.
Conclusions:
- Cervical cancer management is evolving with advances in personalized therapies.
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors have significantly improved outcomes for advanced/recurrent cervical cancer.
