Abstract

The role of the physician is to choose the best treatment in terms of survival benefits with the lowest toxicity. Surgery is indicated for early disease, but insufficient pretreatment evaluation may result in an unnecessary procedure or the need for adjuvant therapy. Appropriate imaging may aid in these decisions. Involvement of imaging in radiotherapy allows more accurate and localized irradiation. Confirmation of correct patient positioning is an integral part of radiotherapy, and in the era of modern imaging, newer image-guided techniques are used to ensure adequate positioning of the target. It seems that the evolution of radiotherapy in the era of advanced imaging and the field of adaptive radiotherapy in uterine cervical cancer is a result of the availability of these novel modalities. This review discusses the role of imaging in the treatment planning of cervical cancer.
