Abstract | Uterine cervical and endometrial cancers are two major gynecological malignancies, affecting women's health worldwide. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is appropriate for evaluating malignant disease, thanks to the excellent soft tissue contrast and multiplanar imaging ability. Recently, functional MR techniques, namely diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE), have proved to be a precious support not only in cancer diagnosis but also in disease staging, in the therapy planning, in monitoring response to treatment and during long-term recurrence surveillance. In the field of gynecologic oncology, the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) recommends DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE-MRI) for local staging of endometrial and cervical cancer, but the potential application of functional imaging in all different aspects of patient management seems very promising. The aim of this article is to summarize the existing literature, providing a comprehensive update on the role of functional MRI in endometrial and cervical cancer. |
