Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent gynecologic malignancies, posing a significant threat to women's health and survival. Despite advancements in early screening and diagnosis, which have led to cervical cancer being termed a "preventable" cancer, treatment options for advanced and recurrent cervical cancer remain limited. Consequently, identifying new therapeutic targets and treatments is crucial for advancing the research and management of cervical cancer. In recent years, targeted therapy and immunotherapy have become focal points in oncology research, offering new avenues and directions for the treatment of cancer. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that targeting BMI1 can inhibit cervical cancer progression, while immunotherapy has advanced to phase III clinical trials, showing promising results. To date, there have been no reports on the combination of BMI1-targeted therapy and immunotherapy in cervical cancer. This review, therefore, elucidates the current state of research and explores the potential and perspectives of combining targeted therapy with immunotherapy for cervical cancer.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Cancer Research (AJCR) (ISSN 2156-6976), is an independent open access, online only journal to facilitate rapid dissemination of novel discoveries in basic science and treatment of cancer. It was founded by a group of scientists for cancer research and clinical academic oncologists from around the world, who are devoted to the promotion and advancement of our understanding of the cancer and its treatment. The scope of AJCR is intended to encompass that of multi-disciplinary researchers from any scientific discipline where the primary focus of the research is to increase and integrate knowledge about etiology and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis with the ultimate aim of advancing the cure and prevention of this increasingly devastating disease. To achieve these aims AJCR will publish review articles, original articles and new techniques in cancer research and therapy. It will also publish hypothesis, case reports and letter to the editor. Unlike most other open access online journals, AJCR will keep most of the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume, issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to retain our comfortable familiarity towards an academic journal.
