Abstract：Neuroendocrine carcinoma of cervix is an aggressive,but rare,form of cervical cancer with an incidence of less than 3％ of all cervical cancers.Nowadays,there are no prospective studies specific to this disease to guide the diagnosis and treatment.The Society of Gynecologic Oncology and Gynecologic Cancer Inter Group have issued consensus guidelines about the treatment for this disease based on the existing retrospective literature and expert opinion.Ongoing research is focuscd on further clarifying the best treatment regimen and defining molecular alterations of these tumors that can be exploited by novel treatment mechanisms.The objective of this manuscript is to review the literature,sumarize current treatment recommendations,and propose possible research efforts for patients with neuroendocrine cervical cancer.
