Dr. Bollinger discusses how the increase in research in the field of cervical cancer is driving the progress of treatment.

“The cervical cancer landscape is dramatically changing for the better as new drug therapies, including antibody drug conjugates and immunotherapies, come into play vs traditional chemotherapy. Taking a closer look at what is driving all this excitement is worthwhile, as these developments will likely impact the standard of care for patients with cervical cancer for years to come.”
