title: Current opinion in cervix carcinoma.
abstract: We review the current status of the conventional therapeutical approaches of cervix carcinoma. Radical hysterectomy remains as the main stone in early stages and play an important role in relapses. Radiotherapy plays an important role in early and advance disease. New techniques and image expand indications and treatment possibilities. Chemotherapy platinum based with radiation therapy goes on being the standard treatment in advanced tumours or non surgical candidates. New systemic strategies are being explored in clinical trials.
