Recommandations pour la pratique clinique Nice/Saint-Paul-de-Vence 2022–2023 : Prise en charge du cancer du col de l'utérus avancé
French recommendations for clinical practice, Nice/Saint-Paul-de-Vence 2022-2023: Management of advanced cervical cancer The prognosis of cervical cancer remained pejorative until recently, first-line treatment consisting of platinum-based chemotherapy, associated with bevacizumab whenever possible, without any other therapeutic innovation for several years. However in 2022, immunotherapy appeared in the therapeutic landscape. Pembrolizumab can now be prescribed, thanks to the early access status granted by the HAS in September 2022, in patients with PD-L1 positive tumors. In parallel, bevacizumab generic is now reimbursed, allowing its association with chemotherapy on top of pembrolizumab, if indicated. For patient relapsing after platinium salts, and who never received immunotherapy, cemiplimab could be delivered and reimboursed since spring 2023, whatever could be PD-L1 status. Pretherapeutic work-up includes imaging combining MRI and PET/CT or CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, as well as evaluation of PD-L1 status on tumor and immune cells to define the CPS score that will determine eligibility to pembrolizumab treatment (CPS > 1). Possibilities of locoregional treatment depend on individual situations and are discussed on a case-by-case basis in multidisciplinary meetings. Early supportive care is always recommended and inclusion in clinical trials must be systematically considered.
