The Added Role of MR Imaging in Treatment Stratification of Patients with Gynecologic Malignancies: What the Radiologist Needs to Know

TLDR
The purpose of this review is to highlight the added role of MR imaging in the treatment stratification and overall care of patients with endometrial, cervical, or ovarian cancer.
Abstract
Advances in MR imaging techniques, along with the growing role of the radiologist as part of a multidisciplinary treatment-planning team, have become central in tailoring treatment options and frequently lead to modifications in the therapeutic approach in patients with gynecologic malignancies.

Staging for cervix cancer: Role of radiology, surgery and clinical assessment

TL;DR: Advances in magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography/computerised tomography (PET/CT) have made it possible to examine many of the prognostic factors non-invasively and enable triage patients far more accurately for surgery or for primary radiotherapy, such as unnecessary multimodality treatments are avoided.

Clinical applications of 3D T2-weighted MRI in pelvic imaging

TL;DR: 3D T2-weighted MRI has been increasingly utilized for pelvic applications, including imaging of rectal cancer, prostate cancer, anorectal fistulas and the female pelvis, and this relatively rapid technique offers good soft-tissue contrast of the pelvic organs.

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Cancer Biomarker: Consensus and Recommendations

TL;DR: DW-MRI should be tested as an imaging biomarker in the context of well-defined clinical trials, by adding DW-MRI to existing NCI-sponsored trials, particularly those with tissue sampling or survival indicators, and standards for measurement, analysis, and display are needed.
