Abstract
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, and it is divided into 2 main histological types: squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Extension of disease as well as the presence of metastases define the prognosis of patients. Accurate tumor staging at diagnosis is essential for adequate planning for treatment. There are several classifications of cervical cancer, and the most used are FIGO and TNM, which help classify the patient and guide the treatment. Imaging has a pivotal role in classifying patients, and MRI plays a decision-maker role both for diagnosis and for treatment planning. In this paper we highlight the role of MRI, alongside guidelines classification, in patients with different stages of cervical tumors.
期刊介绍：
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI is directed to all physicians involved in the performance and interpretation of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging procedures. It is a timely source for the publication of new concepts and research findings directly applicable to day-to-day clinical practice. The articles describe the performance of various procedures together with the authors'' approach to problems of interpretation.
