Reliability study of MRI in detecting lymph node metastasis of cervical cancer: a multi-center retrospective study result analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) currently stands as a cornerstone in preoperative staging and detection of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in cervical cancer (CC). The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of MRI in discerning LNM in CC.

Methods

This retrospective study scrutinized patient data across three medical centers, focusing on those who underwent preoperative MRI assessment followed by radical surgery and pelvic lymph node (LN) dissection. We juxtaposed the correspondence between LN status as determined by MRI and pathological findings, conducting comprehensive data analysis through statistical software. In addition, the factors that may lead to misinterpretation of MRI were analyzed.

Results

Out of a cohort comprising 1,027 patients, 10.
