    WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVEA large proportion of recurrent cervical cancer (RCC) patients present with poor performance status (PS) after comprehensive treatments, which usually prevents them from opting for clinical trials. We retrospectively analysed the effect and safety of low-dose apatinib and tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil (TGO) in the treatment of these patients. CASE SUMMARYSix patients treated with low-dose apatinib and TGO showed a disease control rate of 83.3% and grade 1-2 adverse events (AEs). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSIONThis case series indicates that low-dose apatinib and TGO could be considered as palliative therapy for RCC patients with poor PS.
