Research progress of maintenance therapy for cervical cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor that threatens women's life and health. Among them, the prognosis of recurrent or advanced cervical cancer is poor, and such patients often receive surgical treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc., which makes it more difficult to choose a treatment plan. Even after the most effective treatment methods, the treatment failure rate of advanced cervical cancer is still high. Thanks to the research progress of tumor cell signaling pathway-related targets and immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors, new breakthroughs have been made in cervical cancer maintenance therapy. Targeted maintenance therapy, immune maintenance therapy, and multi-drug combination maintenance therapy are currently popular areas of cervical cancer maintenance therapy.
