Abstract:
Gynecological tumors substantially threaten lives and health of women around the world.At present,the treatment of recurrent and metastatic gynecological tumors is still poor.With the rapid development of immunotherapy,targeted therapy and the evident clinical effectiveness of combination therapy in recent years,new hope has been brought to patients with advanced gynecological tumors.This article preliminarily explores the mechanism of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus lenvatinib in the treatment of malignant tumors,and summarizes the current status of combination therapy in gynecological tumors to provide ideas and direction for subsequent clinical applications.
