Current complex treatment for cervical cancer
Background:
Cervical cancer has shown declining incidence and mortality in recent years, yet it remains a serious societal problem. This is mainly due to its prevalence in younger age groups and the relatively difficult treatment of advanced stages. Treatment of the early stages is predominantly in the hands of gynecologists, while modern radiation therapy combined with systemic therapy is now the standard treatment for advanced stages. More controversial is the indication and position of neoadjuvant systemic therapy before surgery or radiotherapy. In addition to chemotherapy, the role of immunotherapy in metastatic disease is increasing. The addition of immunotherapy to radiation therapy in locally advanced disease also improves oncological outcomes.
Aim:
This article summarizes current primarily nonsurgical therapies and outlines directions in the treatment of cervical cancer.

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...
