Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells without harming normal cells. Targeted therapy medications used for cervical cancer treatment include:

• Bevacizumab:
  This is a monoclonal antibody drug that blocks the growth of new blood vessels that supply nutrients to the tumor. By doing so, it can shrink the tumor and prevent it from spreading.
• Pembrolizumab: This is a checkpoint inhibitor drug that helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. It is used in patients whose cancer has spread or has come back after previous treatment.
• Cetuximab:
  This is another monoclonal antibody drug that targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. It is sometimes used in combination with radiation therapy.
• Lapatinib:
  This is a targeted therapy drug that works by blocking the signals that promote the growth and division of cancer cells. It is sometimes used in combination with chemotherapy.

Targeted therapy drugs are often used in combination with other treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and the specific medications used will depend on the individual patient’s needs and the stage of their cancer. It is important to discuss treatment options with a healthcare provider.

Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses the body’s own immune system to attack cancer cells. Some immunotherapy medications used in the treatment of cervical cancer include:

• Pembrolizumab:
  This is a checkpoint inhibitor drug that helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. It is used in patients whose cancer has spread or has come back after previous treatment.
• Nivolumab:
  This is another checkpoint inhibitor drug that works by blocking the PD-1 protein, which can help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
• Atezolizumab:
  This is an immune checkpoint inhibitor drug that targets the PD-L1 protein, which can help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
• Ipilimumab: This is a type of immunotherapy drug called a CTLA-4 inhibitor that works by blocking a protein called CTLA-4, which can help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.

Immunotherapy drugs are typically given through intravenous infusion or injection, and the specific medication used will depend on the individual patient’s needs and the stage of their cancer. Immunotherapy may be used alone or in combination with other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It is important to discuss treatment options with a healthcare provider.
