Lymph node assessment with (18)F-FDG-PET and MRI in uterine cervical cancer.
To assess pelvic (P) and/or paraaortic (PA) lymph node (LN) involvement in patients with primary stage IA-IVA cervical cancer, (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET, and MRI were compared with histological results. ⋯ FDG-PET is less accurate than MRI for PLN, but more accurate for PALN; FDG-PET cannot replace PA surgical procedures, but could guide them.
