Meta-analysis of the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynaecological malignancies, and although the level of screening and early prevention of cervical cancer has improved considerably in recent years, cervical cancer remains an important malignancy threatening women's health [1]. The current incidence of cervical cancer in China poses a serious challenge [2]. Traditional surgery is controversial for patients with cervical cancer of stage IIb and above [3]. However, neither improvements in surgical techniques and methods nor advances in radiotherapy equipment and techniques have significantly improved cervical cancer survival rates for quite some time [4].
