Abstract

Cervical cancer is a type of malignancy that severely threatens women's health. For invasive cervical cancer, standardized preoperative staging and assessment are essential before the start of treatment. With regard toearly cervical cancer, surgery is the major treatment, with considerations for the latest updates in relevant guidelines, and the determination of extent of resection as well as the selection of proper surgical approach. For advanced or relapsed cervical cancer, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the main treatments. However, there are many challenges and controversies regarding the treatment and clinical research of cervical cancer. We mainly discussed the present status and challenges of cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment based on clinical guidelines and practices, aiming at bettering the real-world practice with the support of clinical guidelines.
