Abstract: Small cell carcinoma of the cervix is a rare and highly malignant neuroendocrine tumor. Because of its rapid progression, high
recurrence rate, lymphonode and hematogenous dissemination in early stage, its prognosis is poor. Diagnosis of SCCC is based on pathomorphology, combing with
immunohistochemistry biomarkers can improve its diagnosis. Operation combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is recommended to be the main therapy
of SCCC. Recently, the reports of SCCC are usually about individual cases or small number of cases. To improve the diagnosis and prognosis, we review its
clinical characteristics and advances in both diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: Small cell carcinoma of the cervix, Neuroendocrine tumor, Cervical tumor
