Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors affecting women. For patients with early-stage cervical cancer and locally advanced cervical cancer, the treatment principle involves conventional methods including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. However, for patients with metastatic cervical cancer, there is no standard treatment due to its heterogeneous manifestations. Therefore, timely diagnosis and staging of the cancer are crucial for improving quality of life. Imaging during the primary diagnostic evaluation is essential for accurately assessing tumor extent, metastatic disease, and selecting the optimal therapeutic option, with the FIGO system further emphasizing its role. Compared to other imaging techniques, MRI provides detailed information about tumor localization and size, invasion into surrounding tissues, and the presence of distant metastases. MRI contributes to individualized treatment selection, taking into account the specific characteristics of the tumor. Integrating MRI into the diagnostic and therapeutic process improves clinical outcomes for cervical cancer patients, enabling effective care. MRI complements other imaging modalities in diagnosis and treatment planning, and without MRI, it is not possible to determine the stage of the disease and establish a final diagnosis.
