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

Uterine sarcomas: clinical presentation and MRI features
TL;DR: Clinical features of uterine sarcomas are discussed, as well as their most common appearances and distinct characteristics in MRI, which help differentiate from more common leiomyomas and endometrial carcinoma.

Background, current role, and potential applications of radiogenomics.

TL;DR: Radiogenomics aims to correlate imaging characteristics with gene expression patterns, gene mutations, and other genome‐related characteristics and is designed to facilitate a deeper understanding of tumor biology and capture the intrinsic tumor heterogeneity.

MR diffusion imaging for preoperative staging of myometrial invasion in patients with endometrial cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Anita Andreano,Gilda Rechichi,Paola Rebora,Sandro Sironi,Maria Grazia Valsecchi,Stefania Galimberti +5 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis shows that DCE and DW do not differ in diagnostic accuracy, and MR diagnostic accuracy in presurgical detection of deep myometrial infiltration in endometrial cancer is high.

PET/MRI and PET/CT in advanced gynaecological tumours: initial experience and comparison
Marcelo Queiroz,Rahel A. Kubik-Huch,Nik Hauser,Bianka K. Freiwald-Chilla,Gustav K. von Schulthess,Johannes M. Froehlich,Patrick Veit-Haibach +6 more
TL;DR: PET/MRI is superior to PET/CT for primary tumour delineation and might be the preferred imaging modality for staging cervical and endometrial tumours and whole-body staging for detection and evaluation of extra-abdominal metastases is mandatory.

The value of advanced MRI techniques in the assessment of cervical cancer: a review
Evelyn Dappa,Tania Elger,Annette Hasenburg,Christoph Düber,Marco Johannes Battista,Andreas M. Hötker +5 more
TL;DR: New advanced MRI techniques can improve TNM staging and show promise for tumour classification and for assessing the risk of tumour recurrence and may be helpful for developing optimised and personalised therapy for patients with cervical cancer.

Detection of lymph node metastasis in cervical and uterine cancers by diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging at 3T
Gigin Lin,Kung-Chu Ho,Jiun-Jie Wang,Koon-Kwan Ng,Yau-Yau Wai,Yen-Ting Chen,Chee-Jen Chang,Shu-Hang Ng,Chyong-Huey Lai,Tzu-Chen Yen +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for detection of pelvic lymph node metastasis in patients with cervical and uterine cancers and found that the combination of size and relative ADC values was useful in detecting pelvic lymph nodes metastasis.

Metastatic Ovarian and Primary Peritoneal Cancer: Assessing Chemotherapy Response with Diffusion-weighted MR Imaging—Value of Histogram Analysis of Apparent Diffusion Coefficients
Stavroula Kyriazi,David J. Collins,Christina Messiou,Kjell Pennert,Robert L. Davidson,Sharon L. Giles,Stan B. Kaye,Nandita M. deSouza +7 more
TL;DR: Quantitative DW MR imaging can aid in early monitoring of treatment efficacy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer and an early increase of ADCs and later decrease of skew and kurtosis characterize chemotherapy response.

Practical aspects of assessing tumors using clinical diffusion-weighted imaging in the body.
TL;DR: Practical issues to help radiologists optimize the use of DWI to evaluate tumors in the body are discussed, including breath-hold DWI, multiple-acquisition non-breath-holdDWI, and diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS).

Prognostic significance of gross myometrial invasion with endometrial cancer
TL;DR: Patients with endometrial cancer and more than 50% myometrial invasion on gross visual intraoperative estimation are at marked risk for extrauterine metastases, including pelvic and para-aortic lymph node metastases and should be considered for more aggressive surgical staging.

TL;DR: The temporal data suggest that FIGO clinical staging was influenced by CT and MRI findings, and both had lower staging accuracy than in prior single-institution studies.
