About this trial
For locally advanced cervical cancer, there are two main treatment options:
One is radical chemoradiotherapy (a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy aimed at curing the disease).
The other is having neoadjuvant treatment first (treatment given before the main surgery to shrink the tumor) followed by radical surgery.
So far, there's no clear answer on which of these two options is better. In general, cervical cancer responds well to immunotherapy. But we still don't know for sure if adding immunotherapy to neoadjuvant chemotherapy can improve the treatment effect for locally advanced cervical cancer, or even make it better than radical chemoradiotherapy.
This study aims to compare the effects of two approaches: radical chemoradiotherapy versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus immunotherapy followed by surgery.
