|
Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed gynecologic malignancy in the United States. This pathologic condition is staged with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) system. The FIGO staging system recently underwent significant revision, which has important implications for radiologists. Key changes incorporated into the 2009 FIGO staging system include simplification of stage I disease and removal of cervical mucosal invasion as a distinct stage. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is essential for the preoperative staging of endometrial cancer because it can accurately depict the depth of myometrial invasion, which is the most important morphologic prognostic factor and correlates with tumor grade, presence of lymph node metastases, and overall patient survival. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging and dynamic contrast medium-enhanced MR imaging are useful adjuncts to standard morphologic imaging and may improve overall staging accuracy.© RSNA, 2012. |
