Sex

FEMALE

Inclusion Criteria:

Female patients aged ≥18 years

Histologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced cervical cancer (FIGO 2018 stage IB3-IVA, excluding IIA1)

Histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous carcinoma

Underwent transvaginal or transrectal ultrasound prior to treatment

At least one pre-treatment DICOM ultrasound image of the primary tumor available

Treated with either exclusive chemoradiotherapy or neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical surgery

Completed at least 12 months of follow-up after primary treatment

Signed informed consent (or equivalent declaration)

Exclusion Criteria:

Age \<18 years

Only printed ultrasound images available

Ultrasound images with poor tumor visualization or with text/markers obscuring the tumor

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

Performance of ultrasound-based radiomic models in predicting treatment response in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

Evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy (AUC, sensitivity, specificity, F1-score) of radiomic models based on pre-treatment ultrasound images in distinguishing responder vs. non-responder patients to primary treatment (exclusive chemoradiotherapy or neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical surgery). Models will be developed and validated using retrospective data.

Time frame: Up to 12 months after primary treatment.
