Case Report: Prolonged survival with short-course triplet induction and dual maintenance in recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer

Abstract
The median overall survival (OS) for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer after progression on first-line therapy is only 5–12 months. We retrospectively reviewed four patients who received modified induction–maintenance therapy. All of the patients achieved clinical benefit to varying degrees, with one attaining progression-free survival (PFS) of over 58 months and an OS of 86 months. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution and warrant validation in larger prospective studies.
