Inclusion criteria:

1. patients with preoperative diagnosis of invasive cervical cancer stage I-III, with any type of pathology, and patients who underwent radical/modified radical cervical cancer surgery + pelvic lymph node dissection in our hospital or sub-center;
2. Age ≥18 years and ≤80 years;
3. patients who underwent preoperative pelvic MRI (plain/enhanced) imaging in our hospital or sub-centers.

Exclusion criteria:

1. patients during pregnancy or lactation, patients with abortion within 42 days;
2. patients who are undergoing or have undergone preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy for this cervical cancer;
3. Patients with other malignant tumors within 5 years;
4. Combination of other underlying diseases that may lead to enlarged pelvic lymph nodes;
5. patients whose preoperative pelvic MRI date is more than 1 month from the day of surgery;
6. poor quality imaging images that are unrecognizable.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

Accuracy in determining pelvic lymph node metastasis

After the subjects underwent surgical treatment, surgical pathology served as the gold standard for evaluating the accuracy of the AI predictive model in comparison to traditional imaging diagnosis. In the statistical analysis phase, sensitivity and specificity were utilized as the primary indicators to assess the accuracy of both diagnostic modalities.

Time frame: The time frame was from subject enrollment until surgical pathology results were obtained. The time between subject enrollment and the availability of surgical pathology results was approximately 1 to 1.5 months.
