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.read more

The feasibility of reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging in evaluating bladder invasion of uterine cervical cancer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classified uterine cervical cancer with bladder mucosal invasion as FIGO stage IVA with poor prognosis and showed that skipping cystoscopy may be possible.

Radio-Imaging for Benign Uterine Disease
TL;DR: MRI is a perfect tool for the evaluation of the morphology of the entire female pelvis due to its high-resolution images combined with an excellent soft tissue contrast and without the application of radiation, and should be given preference for imaging of the female pelvic organs.

TL;DR: Additional diagnostic information from FDG-PET/CT changed treatment strategy in almost half of the patients and may have increased chances of survival in this limited group of patients with locally advanced uterine cervical cancer.

Imaging malignant gynaecological conditions
TL;DR: The different imaging modalities and their recommended roles in the imaging of malignant gynaecological disease are discussed and illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of functional MRI in the diagnosis and management of cervical cancer
TL;DR: The most commonly used fMRI techniques identified for use in cervical cancer include diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE), which indirectly reflect tumor perfusion and hypoxia as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: The American Cancer Society as mentioned in this paper estimated the number of new cancer cases and deaths expected in the United States in the current year and compiles the most recent data regarding cancer incidence, mortality, and survival based on incidence data from the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries and mortality data from National Center for Health Statistics.

TL;DR: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery was not inferior to primary debulked surgery followed by chemotherapy as a treatment option for patients with bulky stage IIIC or IV ovarian carcinoma in this study.

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.
