Abstract:

The prognosis of elderly patients with cervical cancer is poor. Currently, some studies show that elderly women still need regular screening for cervical cancer, and clinical screening methods with higher sensitivity for elderly women need to be explored. In terms of treatment, fewer elderly patients choose surgery, and radiotherapy is the most commonly used treatment. However, there is still no conclusion on whether chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunological therapy should be added during radiotherapy.
