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.
Katja Pinker,Fuki Shitano,Evis Sala,Richard K. G. Do,Robert J. Young,Andreas Wibmer,Hedvig Hricak,Elizabeth J. Sutton,Elizabeth A. Morris +8 more
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.

MRI Appearances of Uterine Malignant Mixed Müllerian Tumors
Nishat Bharwani,Anwen Newland,Nina Tunariu,Syed A. Babar,Anju Sahdev,Andrea Rockall,Rodney H. Reznek +6 more
TL;DR: MMMTs do not have a pathognomonic MRI appearance, however, radiologic suspicion should increase in the presence of large heterogeneous infiltrative tumors or when tumoral enhancement equals or exceeds that of myometrium.

Mixed müllerian sarcoma of the uterus: MR imaging findings.
L G Shapeero,Hedvig Hricak +1 more
TL;DR: Although the massiveness of the tumors on initial presentation may suggest the diagnosis of mixed müllerian sarcoma, the MR imaging findings are nonspecific and mimic invasive endometrial carcinoma.

Preoperative nodal staging of uterine cancer: Is contrast-enhanced PET/CT more accurate than non-enhanced PET/CT or enhanced CT alone?

TL;DR: PET/ceCT is slightly but not significantly superior to PET/ldCT for nodal staging of uterine cancer, and Nodal metastasis cannot be excluded even if PET/ce CT gives negative findings.

Metabolic characterization of primary and metastatic ovarian cancer by 1H-MRS in vivo at 3T.
Mary A. McLean,Andrew N. Priest,Ilse Joubert,David J. Lomas,Masako Kataoka,Helena M. Earl,Robin Crawford,James D. Brenton,John R. Griffiths,Evis Sala +9 more
TL;DR: 1H‐MRS can be used to quantify choline in primary and metastatic masses in ovarian cancer, but the moderately high rate of failure to detect choline necessitates careful recording of data quality parameters to discriminate true from false negatives.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the primary site in stage I cervical carcinoma: A comparison of endovaginal coil with external phased array coil techniques at 0.5T.

TL;DR: Endovaginal MRI adds substantially to information from pelvic phased array images in the preoperative assessment of patients with early cervical cancer.
