• Illustrate a structured reporting template for Cervical and Endometrial Cancer MRI at initial staging.
• Describe the FIGO staging system and the role of MRI in staging cervical and endometrial cancer
• Discuss key interpretive points essential in the pre-operative staging of cervical cancer with respect to TNM classification
• Female Pelvis MRI Protocol
• Anatomy of the uterus, cervix and parametrium
• TNM/FIGO staging classification of cervical and endometrial cancers.
• Structured report for cervical cancer MRI with imaging examples to highlight the specific content pertinent to staging of cervical cancer for example parametrial invasion and lymph node status
• Structured report for endometrial cancer with imaging examples to highlight the pertinent staging features like depth of myometrial invasion and nodal status.
Structured reports for cervical (table 1) and endometrial cancers can provide an accurate, reproducible and concise framework for communication of pertinent positive and negative findings to aide oncologists and surgeons in developing appropriate treatment strategy and can be helpful for clinical outcome measurements.
