Update on novel therapeutic agents for cervical cancer.

Abstract:

:Effective cytotoxic treatment options for advanced cervical cancer are exceedingly limited. Cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy, the most commonly used cytotoxic therapy, has produced response rates ranging from 20% to 30% and overall survival of less than 10 months. Because of the minimal degree of success with cytotoxic therapies and the poor prognosis of patients with this disease, interest has increased in targeted therapeutics for the treatment of cervical cancer. In recent years, significant improvements in our understanding of the altered molecular events in tumor cells have led to the discovery of new targets and agents for clinical testing. Two of these promising targets are epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway, which play critical roles in tumor growth and angiogenesis. Two monoclonal antibodies, cetuximab, which targets EGFR, and bevacizumab, which target the VEGF signaling pathway, are being evaluated as monotherapy and in combination with other agents and/or radiotherapy for the treatment of cervical cancer. In addition, VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as sorafenib and pazopanib, are being studied in phase I/II clinical trials. In this review, we discuss potential molecular targets and novel therapeutic strategies that are being investigated for the treatment of cervical cancer.
