Abstract
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) were classified separately in the 5th edition (2020) of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of female genital malignancies. Cervical neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) is distinguished by its low incidence, high invasiveness, early local dissemination, and distant metastases. The purpose of this review is to outline the achievements in pathology, diagnostics, gene sequencing, and multi-modality treatment of cervical NEC.
