Summary
Cervical carcinoma (MONDO:0005131) is a cancer (an umbrella term covering 9 Mondo subtypes) with 39 cohort genes (246 GWAS associations across 27 studies; 10 CIViC-evidence somatic drivers) and 1,768 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Interferon gamma signaling (6 cohort genes). Molecularly, XRCC1 Q399R confers sensitivity to Cisplatin + Carboplatin in Cervical Cancer (CIViC Level B); 4 further subtype–drug associations are mapped below. Top therapeutic interventions include cisplatin, human papillomavirus, l1 protein virus like particles, and topotecan.

Drug repurposing candidates
30 approved/phased drugs hit cohort targets but don’t yet appear in disease-level clinical trials. Target-inhibition rationale is strongest for cancer driver genes; a bioactivity hit is a screening signal, not a treatment claim.
