ABSTRACT
Almost 300,000 women die from cervical cancer each year, making it the fourth most frequent
cancer in the world among women. The human papillomavirus high-risk subtypes that cause
cervical cancer are the primary cause of the disease. Together with host factors, the E5, E6,
and E7 viral proto-oncogene start and maintain the maligant phenotype. In low- and middle-
income nations, however, the disease is fatal for women because of their limited resources,
which frequently result in advanced and incurable sickness. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy,
and/or surgery are available as treatments, either separately or in combination. This review
outlines the causes and symptoms of cervical cancer and goes into detail about the benefits and
drawbacks of the current cervical cancer therapies. The future of cervical cancer treatment is
then covered, including immunotherapies, targeted medicines, combination therapies, and
genetic treatment options. Publication date: 01/03/2026 https://ijbpas.com/pdf/2026/March/MS_IJBPAS_2026_9925.pdfDownload PDFhttps://doi.org/10.31032/IJBPAS/2026/15.3.9925
