Abstract:
Most early-stage cervical cancer patients achieve good recovery through surgical treatment and concurrent chemoradiotherapy. However, for patients with recurrent, metastatic cervical cancer, the available effective treatment is rare and the prognosis is poor. In recent years, with the development of immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein-4 (CTLA-4) , such as pembrolizumab, nivolumab, ipilimumab, has made breakthrough progress in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
