The value of advanced MRI techniques in the assessment of cervical cancer: a review

ConclusionsNew advanced MRI techniques allow improved analysis of tumour biology and the tumour microenvironment. They can improve TNM staging and show promise for tumour classification and for assessing the risk of tumour recurrence. They may be helpful for developing optimised and personalised therapy for patients with cervical cancer.Teaching points• Conventional MRI plays a key role in the evaluation of cervical cancer.• DWI improves tumour delineation and detection of nodal metastases in cervical cancer.• Advanced MRI techniques show promise regarding histological grading and subtype differentiation.• Tumour ADC is a potential biomarker for response to treatment.
