    AbstractCervical cancer continues to be a major public health concern in India and other low- and middle-income countries. Tata Memorial Centre, India, has been at the forefront in providing treatment, developing best practice guidelines for low-cost efficacious interventions, conducting practice-changing randomized trials and engaging in regional and international collaborations for education and research in cervical cancer. This review summarizes how cervical cancer research and clinical care has evolved over the past two decades at the Tata Memorial Centre, right from testing low-cost public health screening of cervical cancers to the incorporation of the latest technological advancements and providing high-quality evidence for therapeutic management of cervical cancer. The various ongoing strategies for improving survival, toxicity reduction, translational research studies, educational activities and teaching programmes initiated by the Tata Memorial Centre at both national and international levels are discussed.
