Due to improvements in early identification and diverse therapies, cervical cancer, a serious global health issue and a leading cause of cancer-related death has witnessed a rise in survival rates. By administering precise dosages to tumour tissues while limiting harm to healthy structures, radiotherapy is a key component in the care of cervical cancer. Proton therapy, IMRT, and IGRT are a few examples of cutting-edge radiation methods that have completely changed how treatments are delivered while also reducing side effects and improving tumour control. Patients' results are further improved by combination treatments, such as concomitant chemoradiotherapy. Despite these developments, issues with cost, access, and long-term data validation continue. It is crucial to comprehend the concepts and operating processes of radiobiology that underlie these therapies. The future holds hope for improving cervical cancer patient’s quality of life and survival rates through the combination of cutting-edge technologies, individualized treatment programs, and patient-centred care. Collaboration is essential to ensuring equal access and successful implementation of these cutting-edge medicines into clinical practice, though.
