Abstract

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide and is responsible for over 300 thousand deaths worldwide. The causative agent of cervical cancer is persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus subtypes, and viral oncoproteins E 5, E 6, and E 7 interact with human factors to induce and maintain a malignant phenotype. This review describes the mechanisms behind the onset and development of cervical cancer and discusses in detail promising and effective new treatment options for cervical cancer, including immunotherapy, targeted therapy and combination therapy.
