Abstract

Simple Summary: Gynecological malignancies are among the most common cancers with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Management and overall patient survival is reliant upon early detection, accurate staging and early detection of any recurrence. This article provides a comprehensive review of the recent advances in imaging of gynecologic malignancies with emphasis on cervical, endometrial, and ovarian neoplasms. Gynecologic malignancies are among the most common cancers in women worldwide and account for significant morbidity and mortality. Management and consequently overall patient survival is reliant upon early detection, accurate staging and early detection of any recurrence. Ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) play an essential role in the detection, characterization, staging and restaging of the most common gynecologic malignancies, namely the cervical, endometrial and ovarian malignancies. Recent advances in imaging including functional MRI, hybrid imaging with Positron Emission Tomography (PET/MRI) contribute even more to lesion specification and overall role of imaging in gynecologic malignancies. Radiomics is a neoteric approach which aspires to enhance decision support by extracting quantitative information from radiological imaging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
