EP273 A new integrated pre-surgical diagnostic algorithm to define the local extent of disease in women with cervical cancer

Introduction/Background Survival of patients with cervical cancer is strongly associated with the local extent of the primary disease. For this reason, the new FIGO staging system has given greater importance to instrumental investigations in the pre-surgical evaluation. The objective of this study is to develop an integrated diagnostic algorithm, including ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical examination under anaesthesia (CEUA), to better define the local extent of disease in patients with newly diagnosed cervical cancer, using histology as the referring gold standard. Methodology Patients with biopsy proven cervical cancer submitted to primary surgery from Janua…
