Abstract:
In a prospective study the results of FIGO staging and MR staging in uterine cervical carcinoma were compared with the findings of stepwise serial examination of en-bloc-resected specimens in 28 patients. Overall accuracy of MR staging was 59% compared to 41% in FIGO staging. Sensitivity in assessing parametrial tumour extension was 85% in MRI and 64% in clinical examination. Specificity was 74% in MRI and 69% in physical examination. Accuracy in parametrial tumour extension was 67 per cent in FIGO-Classification and 80 per cent in MRI.
