Abstract: Cancer of the uterine cervix is a common gynecologic malignancy worldwide. Given its great efficacy, chemoradiotherapy is recommended as a primary or an adjuvant treatment for patients with advanced cervical cancer. Recently, new techniques and concepts have emerged, such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy, organ motion in treatment, image-guided 3D brachytherapy, and recurrence and survival prediction by positron-emission tomography/computed tomography. These techniques increase the accuracy of the treatment, significantly reduce the normal organ dose and the incidence of severe complications, and improve judgment for prognosis. This review basically summarizes the progress of radiotherapy to guide the clinical work on the treatment of cervical cancer.
