Abstract

Guidelines on cervical cancer (CC) enable a series of recommendations and strategies for primary and secondary prevention, early diagnosis, in advanced stages, as well as treatment in various scenarios. The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can reduce the development of cervical precancerous lesions. That will drastically lower the incidence rates of CC. The tool traditionally used for secondary prevention is cytology with the Papanicolaou staining technique. The CC treatment will be determined based on the initial stage: for early stages, it is based on surgical management; in locally advanced disease, treatment requires concomitant chemo - radiotherapy + brachytherapy (BT). Recent modifications in staging, standardization in surgical management, and various options for recurrence or metastatic disease have been added.
