Abstract
Cervical cancer is the third most common carcinoma in women worldwide. Despite increasing efforts to improve therapy in this disease, a significant proportion of women still die, mostly from recurrent or chemoresistant disease. This review discusses current treatments for early cervical cancer, advanced disease, and recurrent cervical cancer, and covers concurrent chemoradiation, neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery and radiation, single agent treatment, combination treatment, platinum-based and non-platinum based therapy. We also discuss promising therapeutic strategies for cervical cancer including targeted therapy, cell-based therapy, combined siRNA and chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

ROLE OF IMMUNE AND GENOTOXIC RESPONSE BIOMARKERS IN TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Biological biomarkers have been used in medical research as an indicator of a normal or abnormal process inside the body, or of a disease. Nowadays, various researchers are in process to explore and investigate the biological markers for the early assessment of cancer. DNA Damage response (DDR) pathways and immune ...read more
Targeting the battlefield between host and tumor: basic research and clinical practice on reshaping tumor immune microenvironment
Immune system protects host against malignant tumors through effector cells and molecules. Cancer development and its response to therapy are regulated by inflammation, which either promotes or suppresses cancer progression. Chronic inflammation facilitates cancer progression and treatment resistance, whereas induction of acute inflammatory reactions often lead to anti-cancer immune responses. ...read more
