Abstract Objective Systemic platinum‐based chemotherapy is the first‐line treatment of choice for metastatic cervical cancer. While subsequent radiotherapy after primary chemotherapy is a potential option, its benefit remains unclear. This multicenter retrospective study aimed to evaluate whether post‐chemotherapy radiotherapy improves the prognosis of
