The article summarizes existing preventive measures, screening and treatment of cervical cancer with emphasis to modern advancement. Surgical interventions, radiotherapy and chemotherapy conventionally have been utilized for managing cervical cancer. New technologies such as liquid-based cytology, artificial intelligence, precision medicine and molecular diagnostics hold potential to improve early detection and focused care.
