OBJECTIVE: To determine the accuracy of the preoperative staging of uterine cervical cancer by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in 115 patients in a prospective study. METHODS: A prospective study was performed in 115 patients who underwent MR imaging at 1.5 T before surgery or biopsy. Histopathologic findings were correlated with MR imaging results for all patients. RESULTS: The accuracy of preoperative tumor staging by MR imaging in the 115 patients was 77%. In terms of the evaluation of parametrial status, this study had an accuracy of 94% and a sensitivity of 38%. The accuracy and sensitivity of MR imaging for vaginal invasion were 81% and 87%, respectively. In terms of lymph node metastasis, this study had an accuracy of 97% and a sensitivity of 36%. CONCLUSION: Magnetic resonance imaging has high accuracy in the preoperative staging of uterine cervical cancer.
