Topotecan for the treatment of recurrent carcinoma of the cervix
Topotecan in combination with cisplatin is recommended as a possible treatment for women with recurrent or stage IVB cervical cancer only if they have not received cisplatin before. Healthcare professionals should not stop prescribing topotecan for women who have received cisplatin before and who were already taking topotecan with cisplatin when the guidance was issued. These women should be able to carry on taking topotecan until they and their healthcare professionals decide that it is the right time to stop treatment.
