Highlights:

- Concurrent chemoradiation plus brachiterapy represent the standard of care treatment in locally advanced cervical cancer providing up to 70% 5 years OS

- Modern radiotherapy technique (IMRT and VMAT) has reported to further increase OS and reduce toxicity 

- Immunotherapy has reported to increase OS in advanced or recurrent cervical cancer when compared to standard treatment

- Immunotherapy in combination with concurrent high quality chemoradiation in the treatment of locally advanced high risk cervical cancer further increase PFS and OS with respect to standard chemoradiotherapy and should be considered the new standard of care

- The combination appears manageable and no substanciad additional toxicity has been reported
