| Method |
Serial MRI examinations (T1-weighted and T2-weighted images) were performed in 60 patients (age range, 29-75 years mean, 53.3 years) with advanced cervical cancer (stages IB2-IVB/recurrent) who were treated with RT at four time points: start of RT, during RT (at 2-2.5 and at 4-5 weeks of RT), and post-RT. Tumor configuration was classified qualitatively into oval, lobulated, and complex based on MR film review. |
| Comments |
The shapes of most tumors (70%) were not oval or ellipsoid before Radiation Therapy. |
