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.

Invasive cervical carcinoma: role of MR imaging in pretreatment work-up--cost minimization and diagnostic efficacy analysis.
Hedvig Hricak,C B Powell,Kyle K. Yu,E Washington,Leslee L. Subak,J L Stern,M G Cisternas,Ronald L. Arenson +7 more
TL;DR: Significantly fewer procedures and fewer invasive studies were performed in the MR imaging group and guidelines for the pretreatment work-up of clinical stage Ib cervical cancer need revision, and MR imaging should be used as an adjunct to clinical evaluation.

TL;DR: DW MR imaging has superior diagnostic accuracy in the assessment of myometrial invasion and significantly higher staging accuracy compared with DCE MR imaging.

TL;DR: The results indicated that high field MRI should include at least two T2-weighted sequences in sagittal, axial oblique or coronal oblique orientation (short and long axis of the uterine body) of the pelvic content for endometrial cancer staging with MRI.

Feasibility of diffusion‐weighted imaging in the differentiation of metastatic from nonmetastatic lymph nodes: Early experience
TL;DR: To investigate the feasibility of diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) in the differentiation of metastatic from nonmetastatic lymph nodes, a large number of patients with confirmed or suspected metastatic disease were treated with WI.

TL;DR: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is useful not only for preoperative staging of gynecologic malignancies but also for prediction of the histopathologic features of a variety of intrapelvic tumors as discussed by the authors.
