MRI of endometrium cancer – how we do it

Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female pelvis. New concepts in endometrial cancer treatment emphasize the value of MRI as a major predictor of lymph node metastasis and tumour recurrence. MRI findings aid in triaging patients for a more tailored therapeutic regimen. This revi...

description Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female pelvis. New concepts in endometrial cancer treatment emphasize the value of MRI as a major predictor of lymph node metastasis and tumour recurrence. MRI findings aid in triaging patients for a more tailored therapeutic regimen. This review discusses the value of MRI in the preoperative assessment of endometrial cancer and provides a practical approach how to image and report endometrial cancer. Practical tips are provided how to increase the diagnostic accuracy in staging of endometrial cancer and how to avoid pitfalls.
