What this page does

Maps options by country

It maps sourced options by country alongside diagnosis wording, stage, test results, specialists, and trial-search terms.

What it does not do

Does not choose treatment

It does not rank treatments, recommend a choice, or decide clinical fit.

Where it comes from

Built on trusted sources

Every option links to a trusted regulator, HTA, or guideline source, and the list grows as new sources pass verification.

Information to gather before the next visit

  • Which FIGO stage and tumor size category apply?
  • Is fertility-preserving surgery being considered?
  • Has prior radiation or nodal disease changed the surgical options?
  • Is the treatment plan definitive chemoradiation, adjuvant chemoradiation, or palliative radiation?

United States

  • Pembrolizumab (Keytruda)[1]FDA-approvedPD-L1 positive, CPS >=1; Recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer after chemotherapy progression. · This is the FDA's 2018 monotherapy indication; it should not be conflated with later first-line chemo-combination use. The approval notice states the indication was under accelerated approval at that time. Current payer access and later-label evolution were not re-verified in this cycle. Confidence/conflicts: High for the U.S. post-chemotherapy PD-L1-positive cervical monotherapy indication; this cycle did not fetch the later U.S. first-line chemo-combination page.
  • Pembrolizumab (Keytruda)[1]FDA-approvedPD-L1 positive, CPS >=1; Recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer after chemotherapy progression. · This is the FDA's 2018 monotherapy indication; it should not be conflated with later first-line chemo-combination use. The approval notice states the indication was under accelerated approval at that time. Current payer access and later-label evolution were not re-verified in this cycle. Confidence/conflicts: High for the U.S. post-chemotherapy PD-L1-positive cervical monotherapy indication; this cycle did not fetch the later U.S. first-line chemo-combination page.
  • conization, total hysterectomy, modified radical hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy, radical trachelectomy, and pelvic exenteration in selected recurrent contexts[2]Standard option (per NCI PDQ)in situ and stage IA/IB/IIA stage-specific management; pelvic exenteration for selected stage IVB/recurrent contexts. · NCI PDQ is an evidence summary, not a personalized surgical recommendation. Fertility goals, stage, tumor size, nodal findings, prior radiation, surgical risk, and local expertise determine whether surgery is discussed. Confidence/conflicts: high for NCI stage-based treatment-option listing; no conflict identified.
  • external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT), brachytherapy, and cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiation[2]NCI PDQ: standard optionstages IB/IIA, stages IIB/III/IVA, and postoperative high-risk settings where radiation therapy is required. · NCI notes trial variation and that one trial did not show benefit; radiation plan depends on stage, anatomy, nodal disease, prior surgery, and brachytherapy feasibility. Confidence/conflicts: high for NCI evidence summary; no conflict identified beyond NCI's noted trial heterogeneity. Standard of care for locally advanced cervical cancer requiring radiation (NCI PDQ 2025; NCCN; ESGO) — concurrent cisplatin chemoradiation gives a 30-50% reduction in risk of death. Weekly cisplatin 40 mg/m2 is preferred; carboplatin is an alternative when cisplatin is unsuitable. Newer agents (e.g. pembrolizumab per KEYNOTE-A18) are ADDED to this backbone, not substitutes. The 'one trial did not show benefit' note refers to inter-trial heterogeneity among the supporting trials, not to the regimen failing.
  • palliative chemotherapy and systemic therapy options including cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, topotecan, doxorubicin-class alternatives as applicable, and bevacizumab-containing regimens when appropriate[2]Standard option (per NCI PDQ)PD-L1 status relevant for pembrolizumab options; other chemotherapy options are not biomarker-selected in the NCI summary; stage IVB and recurrent cervical cancer. · This is a broad systemic-therapy category rather than a single regimen. Prior platinum exposure, performance status, symptoms, PD-L1 status, bleeding/fistula risk, renal function, and care goals influence the actual regimen. Confidence/conflicts: medium-high; NCI supports broad treatment categories, but regimen-specific details require label/guideline refresh. No conflict identified.
  • pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with chemoradiotherapy; pembrolizumab with chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab (Avastin)[3]FDA-approvedPD-L1 CPS >=1 required for persistent/recurrent/metastatic pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy indication; no biomarker stated in FDA's FIGO stage III-IVA chemoradiotherapy approval notice; FIGO 2014 stage III-IVA with chemoradiotherapy; persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS >=1 for pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab. · FDA notices do not define individual eligibility beyond the approved indications. PD-L1 testing is required for the persistent/recurrent/metastatic approval cited here. Confidence/conflicts: high for FDA approval notices; no conflict identified.
  • tisotumab vedotin-tftv (Tivdak)[4]FDA accelerated approvalrecurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after chemotherapy. · FDA approval notice does not imply individual eligibility, sequencing, safety suitability, or availability at a specific cancer center. Full prescribing information and eye-toxicity precautions require label review. Confidence/conflicts: high for FDA traditional approval notice; no conflict identified.

European Union

  • Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) plus chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab[5]EMA authorisedPD-L1 positive, CPS >=1; Persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer in adults with PD-L1 CPS >=1. · This verifies central EU authorisation status only. Member-state reimbursement, sequencing against other options, and country-specific commissioning were not verified in this cycle. Confidence/conflicts: High for EU central authorisation language; no reimbursement verification attempted.

Confidence/conflicts: High for EU central authorisation language; no reimbursement verification attempted.
  • bevacizumab (Avastin) with paclitaxel plus cisplatin or paclitaxel plus topotecan[6]EMA authorisedadvanced persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer. · Bevacizumab risks, including thromboembolic and bleeding/fistula concerns, require label review and clinical judgment. Member-state reimbursement varies. Confidence/conflicts: medium-high; EMA cervical cancer context is clear, but exact indication wording should be refreshed in current SmPC before patient-facing reuse. No conflict identified.
  • pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with chemoradiotherapy, including external beam radiation therapy followed by brachytherapy[5]EMA authorisedno PD-L1 requirement stated for this EMA indication; adults with FIGO 2014 stage III-IVA locally advanced cervical cancer; no prior definitive therapy. · EMA central authorization does not determine individual member-state reimbursement, hospital protocol, or eligibility. Germany/France HTA and national reimbursement remain separate cells. Confidence/conflicts: high for EMA indication; no conflict identified.
  • pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab (Avastin and biosimilars)[5]EMA authorisedPD-L1 CPS >=1; persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer in adults with PD-L1 CPS >=1. · EMA approval is not the same as automatic access in every EU member state. PD-L1 testing and national reimbursement should be checked. Confidence/conflicts: high for EMA indication; no conflict identified.
  • tisotumab vedotin (Tivdak)[7]EMA authorisedrecurrent or metastatic cervical cancer after previous systemic treatment. · EMA central authorization does not equal reimbursement or availability in every EU member state. Full SmPC safety instructions should be reviewed, especially eye-related precautions. Confidence/conflicts: high for EMA indication; no conflict identified.

United Kingdom

  • Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab[8]NICE recommendedPD-L1 positive, CPS >=1; Persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer in adults with PD-L1 CPS >=1. · This is a NICE access recommendation rather than a pan-UK regulator label. It includes a 2-year stopping rule and commercial-arrangement condition, and should not be generalized to all devolved UK decisions without local verification. Confidence/conflicts: High for NICE recommendation scope and caveats.

Beyond approved care

In clinical trials & emerging options

Options that are not — or not yet — an approved standard where you live: studies, clinical trials, off-label use, and early evidence that your own oncologist may not raise. Each is labeled by how strong the evidence is. A listing here is information to research and discuss with your team; it does not mean a treatment is proven, safe for you, or available today.

In clinical trials

A clinical-trial listing or early report shows an option is being studied — not that it works, that it is safe for any one person, or that a site is enrolling today. Whether any of these fits is a conversation for your oncology team and the trial team. Last checked 2026-06-12.
