Locally advanced cervical cancer: lines of therapy
6 standard-of-care settings across 5 lines and 2 biomarker subgroups. Rows come from the cancer page's standard of care; the grid places each on its line and subgroup.
| Line | All comers | Risk group |
|---|---|---|
| Screening, prevention and diagnosis | 1 | · |
| Early / localised | · | 1 |
| Advanced, first line | 1 | · |
| Second line | 1 | · |
| Other settings | 2 | · |

Sequence and caution pairings
Lines and subgroups are parsed from the setting text of each standard-of-care row and can misclassify an unusual phrasing; the row’s own setting is always shown. Guideline chips reflect the NCCN category and ESMO-MCBS grade recorded on the cancer page, checked on its stated date. Not medical advice.
