Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most common cancer worldwide, with a well known origin, infection by high-risk human papilloma virus. Although screening programmes have led to a relevant reduction in the incidence and mortality due to CC in developed countries, it is still an important cause of mortality in young women in undeveloped countries. Clinical stage is the most relevant prognostic factor in CC and the standard of care is still based on it. In early stages, the primary treatment is surgery or radiotherapy, whereas concomitant chemo-radiotherapy is the conventional approach in locally advanced stage. In the setting of recurrent or metastatic CC the treatment is largely palliative, so it is important to develop new therapeutic strategies.
