Brief Summary
Endometrial and cervical cancers are one of the most common malignancies seen in females. Identification of recurrent disease in early phases of treatment carries a primary importance on the outcome of patients. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a new technique recently started to be performed in body imaging and has potential ability to detect recurrent disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic impact of DWI in detection of recurrent disease in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Investigation of the diagnostic value of DWI in detection of recurrence rate in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer.
Postoperative recurrent disease is usually investigated with physical examination, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with different sensitivity and specificities. However, radiologists experience difficulty in detection of small recurrent active tumors with anatomically-based radiologic modalities like CT or conventional MRI in patients treated with hysterectomy. Furthermore, effects of adjuvant therapies or fibrosis developed following surgery could mask or even mimic the recurrent tumor. Our aim in this study is to investigate the diagnostic impact of DWI in detection of recurrence rate in patients treated with curative surgery in endometrial and cervical cancer.

Study Arms (1)
Diffusion weighted imaging, Recurrence
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Recurrence in cervical and endometrial cancer patients who were treated with curative surgery is routinely investigated by MRI examination. MRI is diagnostic technique not requiring ionizing radiation and is based on magnetic fields.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Pathologic diagnosis of cervical or endometrial cancer.
- Patients treated with curative surgery (hysterectomy)will be involved on a voluntary basis.
You may not qualify if:
- Contraindications for MRI examination (cardiac pacemakers, metallic objects, cochlear implants, claustrophobic patients)
