Résumé

Doublet chemotherapy with cisplatin is the reference for the treatment of recurrent cervical cancer. However, those tumors are little chemo-sensitive and overall survival remains poor. Moreover, because of pelvic irradiation, toxicities, especially hematologic toxicities, are increased and require a drug dose reduction. Finally, these treatments are rarely effective in radiation areas. Given all these elements, the development of new therapies is a prominent issue. This article reviews the results of the major targeted therapies in cervical cancer. Anti-EGFRs are disappointing despite of a strong biological rational. On the other hand, bevacizumab is the first targeted therapy to show a significant increase of overall survival. A major effort must be made in translational research for a better understanding of tumor biology of these tumors.
