Abstract
invasion in cases of cervical cancer in comparison to MRI that will save a lot of time and financial issues for sake of cervical cancer patients.
Cervical cancer is the third cancer in incidence worldwide and is the most common gynecological cancer in developing countries.
Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has long been established as a valuable imaging method in the primary diagnostic work-up of macroscopically visible cervical cancers, in the last few years, ultrasound has gained attention as an imaging technique for evaluating women with cervical cancer. Several studies found that TVS was more sensitive than MRI for identifying parametrial involvement.
This study concluded that TVS has 100% Sensitivity and 76.92% Specificity for detection of anterior parametriaal invasion in comparison to MRI as gold standard so TVS has good agreement to MRI.
Also this study concluded that TVS has 93.33 Sensitivity and 89.66Specificity for diagnosis of posterior parametrial invasion in comparison to MRI as gold standard so TVS has very good agreement to MRI.
And finally our study concluded that TVS has 92.86 Sensitivity and 93.75 Specificity for diagnosis of lateral parametrial invasion in comparison to MRI as gold standard so TVS has very good agreement to MRI for diagnosis of lateral parametrial invasion.
So ultrasound examination of cervical cancer patients is very helpful.
Our study did not only find that TVS is very effective in parametrium invasion but also results about local invasion and nodal invasion were in good to very good agreement to results of MRI.
