Brief Summary

\[18 F\]fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) is a new hybrid imaging tool that has recently arrived in oncology, and is particularly promising. Its usefulness seems obvious in certain tumor types, but its place in the staging of cervical cancers has never been explored in a prospective trial to our knowledge. Previously, a comparative retrospective study from 2009 found a better sensitivity of PET fused to diagnostic MRI images compared to PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) in the detection of metastatic lymph nodes (54 and 44% respectively). It was an a posteriori fusion of images, from images acquired by PET-CT.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Compare performances of PET/MRI and PET/CT in the detection of lumbar aortic lymph node metastases in cervical cancer patients with tumors graded IB2 to IVA stage

    Performances in terms of sensitivity

    Up to 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Compare performances of PET/MRI and PET/CT in the detection of lymph node metastases in cervical cancer patients with tumors graded IB2 to IVA stage, outside of lumbar aortic region

    Up to 3 months

  • Compare performances PET/MRI and para-aortic lymphadenectomy in the detection of lumbar aortic lymph node metastases in cervical cancer patients

    Up to 3 months

Interventions

18-FDG PET-MRIDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

For this trial, 18-FDG PET-MRI will be conducted directly after PET-CT using a single dose of radiotracer
