Abstract

FDG-PET is already recommended to evaluate lymph node extension and was proven superior to MRI for detection of lombo-aortic lymph node extension, which is a major prognostic factor.

Given its excellent soft-tissue contrast, MRI plays an important role at diagnosis in the delineation of cervical lesions, and possible vaginal, parametrial, rectal or bladder invasion.

Therefore, PET and MRI are complementary for cervical cancer local, loco-regional and distant staging and re-staging.
