Cancer stem cells(CSCs)are a small subgroup of cells capable of initiating cancer and are associated with chemotherapy resistance and cancer recurrence.Cervical cancer is one of the major malignant tumors threatening women's health worldwide.With the popularization of cervical cancer screening,some early cervical cancer and precancerous lesions have been discovered and timely treated,but the treatment and prognosis of mid-to late-stage cervical cancer have not been markedly improved.The treatments of mid-to late-stage cervical cancer are still surgery,radiotherapy and chemotherapy.There-fore,effective targeting strategies for cervical cancer CSCs are increasingly important for monitoring the progress of cervical cancer treatment and evaluating new treatment methods.This article provides a brief review of the role of biomarkers of cervical cancer CSCs in the progression of cervical cancer and their potential as therapeutic targets.
