Opinion Statement
Among cervical cancers, adenocarcinoma is less common than squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix; however, the incidence of these cancers is rising. The incidence has changed largely due to a shift in risk factors as well as the evolution of the diagnosis and classification of adenocarcinoma. Adenocarcinoma of the cervix is composed of a diverse group of neoplasms that can be classified by various factors. In this review article, preinvasive disease, updated classifications of adenocarcinoma, and treatment options for cervical adenocarcinoma are discussed with a focus on current and future therapies. Advances in antibody–drug conjugates (ADC) and immunotherapy have increased the treatment options available for usual-type adenocarcinoma but there is still a lack of variety of treatment options for the remaining 25% of non-usual-type adenocarcinomas.
