Advances in Screening, Immunotherapy, Targeted Agents, and Precision Surgery in Cervical Cancer: A Comprehensive Clinical Review (2018-2025). (PubMed, Curr Oncol)
For locally advanced disease, KEYNOTE-A18 establishes pembrolizumab plus chemoradiation as a new curative standard, while INTERLACE underscores the benefit of induction chemotherapy. In the metastatic setting, survival outcomes have improved with the integration of checkpoint inhibitors (KEYNOTE-826, BEATcc, EMPOWER-Cervical 1), vascular-targeted therapies, and antibody-drug conjugates, including tisotumab vedotin and emerging HER2 and TROP-2-directed agents...Future directions include neoadjuvant checkpoint inhibition, PARP-IO combinations, HER3-directed ADCs, DDR-targeted radiosensitizers, HPV-specific cellular therapies, and AI-integrated precision medicine. Collectively, these advances are reshaping cervical cancer care toward biologically individualized, globally implementable strategies capable of accelerating WHO elimination targets.
