title: Chemotherapy for advanced or recurrent cervical cancer.
abstract: The primary treatment options for cervical cancer are surgery and radiation for more than a century. However, over the last 40 years chemotherapy has been building up its reputation in the management of cervical cancer in various forms such as chemoradiation, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and palliative chemotherapy for advanced or recurrent disease. Among these, in this review, chemotherapy for advanced or recurrent cervical cancer will be discussed.
