Since the introduction of the Papanicolaou smear and colposcopy, cervical cancers can be diagnosed and treated easily in their preinvasive state. Although theoretically cancer of the cervix should be detected and treated before becoming invasive disease, there are still too many women who develop invasive cancer of the cervix and require radical surgery and/or radiation therapy. The management of patients with recurrent or advanced disease is difficult and challenging.
自从巴氏涂片检查和阴道镜检查问世以来，宫颈癌在其癌前状态就能够轻易得到诊断和治疗。虽然从理论上讲，宫颈癌应在发展为浸润性疾病之前被检测出来并进行治疗，但仍有太多女性患上浸润性宫颈癌，需要进行根治性手术和/或放射治疗。对复发或晚期疾病患者的管理既困难又具有挑战性。
