Correlative study between apparent diffusion coefficient value and grading of cervical cancer

Abstract Background Studying cervical cancer is critical as it the third most common gynecological malignancy. Therefore, a precise preoperative evaluation of characteristics disease well prognosis may significantly aid in diagnosis carcinoma planning its treatment. The purpose study To investigate if value apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) could be interpreted prognostic indicator to predict aggressiveness prior management. Results ADC for high- and low-grade was statistically different. Patients with histological grade I had higher comparison those II (1.04 ± 0.07 vs. 0.82 0.02 × 10 −3 mm 2 /s; p < 0.001) III 0.67 0.05 0.001). In addition, patients (0.82 Conclusions Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) one non-contrast modalities which identical quantitative morphological information. Combined DWI can perform better detecting grading.
