Interobserver agreement and prognostic impact for MRI-based 2018 FIGO staging parameters in uterine cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the interobserver agreement for MRI-based 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging parameters in patients with cervical cancer and assess the prognostic value of these MRI parameters in relation to other clinicopathological markers.

Methods

This retrospective study included 416 women with histologically confirmed cervical cancer who underwent pretreatment pelvic MRI from May 2002 to December 2017. Three radiologists independently recorded MRI-derived staging parameters incorporated in the 2018 FIGO staging system. Kappa coefficients (κ) for interobserver agreement were calculated. The predictive and prognostic values of the MRI parameters were explored using ROC analyses and Kaplan-Meier with log-rank tests, and analyze
