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.

Pelvic adenopathy in prostatic and urinary bladder carcinoma: MR imaging with a three-dimensional TI-weighted magnetization-prepared-rapid gradient-echo sequence.
TL;DR: MR imaging with a 3D MP-RAGE sequence was accurate in revealing nodal metastases from carcinoma of the prostate and bladder and can be used to select patients for biopsy or laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping pelvic lymph nodes: guidelines for delineation in intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
TL;DR: Blood vessels with a modified 7-mm margin offer a good surrogate target for pelvic lymph nodes by making appropriate adjustments, coverage of specific nodal groups may be increased and the volume of normal tissue irradiated decreased.

Combined Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Particles of Iron Oxide–Enhanced and Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging Reliably Detect Pelvic Lymph Node Metastases in Normal-Sized Nodes of Bladder and Prostate Cancer Patients

TL;DR: USPIO-DW-MRI is a fast and accurate method for detecting pelvic lymph node metastases, even in normal-sized nodes of bladder or prostate cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion-weighted MRI in cervical cancer
TL;DR: Investigation of apparent diffusion coefficient measurement with MRI in the assessment of cervix cancer found it may have predictive value in squamous tumors, but further long-term study will determine the ultimate clinical utility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the early detection of response to chemoradiation in cervical cancer
TL;DR: DWI has potential to provide a surrogate biomarker of treatment response in advanced cervical cancers and offers an early and reproducible indication of tumour response which may ultimately allow the development of individualised regimens.
