Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging criteria for predicting lymph node metastasis in patients with stage IB1-IIA2 cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to identify patients with stage IB1-IIA2 cervical cancer at low risk for lymph node metastasis (LNM) using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters.

Methods

Clinical and MRI data of patients with stage IB1-IIA2 cervical cancer who underwent radical surgery between 2010 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical stage IB1-IIA2 cervical cancer was diagnosed according to the 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system. The low-risk criteria for LNM were identified using logistic regression analysis. The performance of the logistic regression analysis was estimated through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.

Results

Of 453 patients, 105 (23.2%) exhibited pathological LNM (p-LNM).
