Cervical cancer remains a significant global health concern, making it essential to investigate new treatment options continuously. This page provides an overview of the latest advancements and best practices in detection and intervention, including Pap smears, colposcopy, biopsy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Surgical techniques such as radical hysterectomy and minimally invasive procedures have advanced to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life. Simultaneously, radiation therapy methods have been refined to maximize tumour control while reducing adverse effects. Chemotherapy remains vital, with new drugs and combination regimens demonstrating improved tolerance and efficacy. Immunotherapy, notably immune checkpoint inhibitors, has shown promise in advanced stages of cervical cancer. Additionally, targeted therapies that focus on specific biochemical pathways offer the potential for personalized treatment approaches. This review critically assesses ongoing research, evaluates existing data, and emphasizes the opportunities and challenges of each therapeutic approach. Ultimately, integrating these diverse treatment strategies is the key to enhancing patient outcomes.

Background: Regular cervical screening can significantly reduce the onset and prevalence of cervical cancer. In Ontario, Canada, South Asian women have the lowest rates of cervical cancer screening among major ethnic groups in the province.

Methods: Using an innovative and participant-driven method called Concept Mapping (CM), we set out to understand how the lives and experiences of South Asian women living in Ontario shape their decisions around getting screened for cervical cancer.

Background: To investigate cancer incidence and the potential influence of immunosuppressive agents in Korean systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis utilizing data from the Korea Healthcare Bigdata Linked Platform, which integrated the National Central Cancer Registry and National Health Insurance Service databases covering the period 2008-2017. Incidence rates (IRs) per 10,000 person-years (PYs) for site-specific cancers of SLE patients were calculated using ICD-O-3 codes.
