Preoperative risk stratification of early-stage endometrial cancer assessed by multimodal magnetic resonance functional imaging

Ruqi Ou & Yongjun Peng · 2024-11-28

Endometrial cancer is a common disease in women. Stratifying the risk of early-stage endometrial cancer can aid in personalized treatment for patients. Risk stratification is primarily based on tumor grade, histological type, lymph node metastasis, and depth of myometrial invasion. Multimodal magnetic resonance functional imaging (including DCE-MRI, DWI, IVIM, DTI, DKI) has significant value in assessing the extent of myometrial and cervical infiltration, extrauterine involvement range, determining lymph node metastasis and tumor size. This article provides a brief overview of these techniques.
