Magnetic resonance imaging for staging and treatment planning in cervical cancer. / Imagen por resonancia magnética en la estadificación y planificación del tratamiento del cáncer de cérvix.

OBJECTIVE: To review the key points that are essential for the correct staging of cervical cancer by magnetic resonance imaging. CONCLUSION: Magnetic resonance imaging is the method of choice for locoregional staging of cervical cancer. Thorough evaluation of prognostic factors such as tumor size, invasion of adjacent structures, and the presence of lymph node metastases is fundamental for planning appropriate treatment.
