ABSTRACT
Introduction: Cervical cancer is a prevalent malignancy
that has a high death and morbidity rate. It's caused by aberrant cell
proliferation with the capacity to infiltrate and spread to other portions of
the body.
Objective: The main objective of the study is to compare
the degree of agreement between MRI and histopathology in T staging of cervical
carcinoma.
Material and Methods: This cross sectional study was
conducted in the department of radiology, Mayo Hospital Lahore for 6 months
i.e. 12 Feb 2019 to 11 Feb 2020. MRI of the pelvis performed using a 1.5 tesla
MRT 1580 scanner. All the results were interpreted by our senior radiologist
and T-stage was noted according to MRI findings. All histopathological
examinations performed. Both MRI and histopathology were separately place.
Results: The mean age of patients was 46.45±13.38
years, 25(25%) patients were with underweight BMI and obese BMI patients were
36(36%). In our study the agreement between the MRI and histopathology was
found in 77(77%) patients.
Conclusion: According to our study results the MRI had
good agreement with histopathology in T staging of cervical carcinoma.
