As one of the most common malignant tumors in the female reproductive system worldwide, cervical cancer poses a huge threat to women＇s health. The occurrence of cervical cancer is related to a variety of factors, including viral infection, unclean sexual life, poor hygiene habits, etc., among which persistent infection with high-risk human papilloma virus（HPV）is the primary risk factor for its pathogenesis. Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）is playing an increasingly important role in the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. Traditionally, TCM has been used to treat diseases by adjusting the overall balance of the human body and enhancing the body＇s resistance. Modern medical research has also shown that TCM can not only promote the apoptosis of cervical cancer cells, but also regulate the immune function of the patients and reduce the complications of Western medicine treatment. For example, TCM monomers are effective against cervical cancer by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, TCM has also shown unique advantages in postoperative rehabilitation of cervical cancer and improvement of quality of life, such as the research progress of TCM in the prevention and treatment of postoperative urinary retention and lymphedema of the lower limbs of cervical cancer. The purpose of this review was to systematically summarize the research progress of TCM in the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer, explore the impact of TCM on cervical cancer-related signaling pathways, and how to better apply TCM in clinical practice. The significance of the research was to provide more treatment options for cervical cancer patients, improve the treatment effect and the quality of life of the patients, and also provide direction for the future research. Through in-depth research on the mechanism of action of TCM, it can better understand the role of TCM in the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer, and provide more scientific basis for clinical practice.
