Radiological Findings of Cervical Cancer

Release Date: 2024-06-10

Cervical cancer is one of commonest gynecological cancers worldwide in which early diagnosis is very essential. For also detecting the the lesion and the staging the disease, radiological imaging modalities especially MRI are very useful. Lesions’ size, distance between internal cervical os and the edge of the lesion, invasion of parametrium, involvement of vagina, hydronephrosis, [...]

    Cervical cancer is one of commonest gynecological cancers worldwide in which early diagnosis is very essential. For also detecting the the lesion and the staging the disease, radiological imaging modalities especially MRI are very useful. Lesions’ size, distance between internal cervical os and the edge of the lesion, invasion of parametrium, involvement of vagina, hydronephrosis, pelvic lateral side-wall invasion, rectum and bladder involvement , pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph node involvement are the major conditions must be evaluated on radiological examinations which change the grade and also the treatment options of the disease.

    3Associate Prof. Dr. Sercan Özkaçmaz completed his medical education in Yüzüncü Yıl University Faculty Of Medicine in 2007 and specialised in Radiology between 2010-2014 in the radiology department of the same faculty. He worked as a radiologist in Bitlis State Hospital and Van Education and Training Hospital. Between 2018-2020 he worked as an assistant professor in Kırşehir Ahi Evran University. He received his associate prof degree in 2022. From 2020 he has been working in Yuzuncu Yıl University Faculty Of Medicine Department Of Radiology. He is particularly interested in ultrasound/doppler abdominal- obstetric/gynecological radiology.
