EXPLORE JUNE’S FREE ACCESS VISUOG CHAPTER ON CERVICAL CANCER

Cervical cancer, the fourth most common cancer in women, primarily includes HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. While MRI remains the gold standard for assessing lesion size, ultrasound, when performed by skilled operators, offers comparable staging information. The VISUOG chapter on cervical cancer provides detailed insights into its definition, epidemiology, and histopathology, emphasizing the role of ultrasound in staging. It outlines essential ultrasound parameters such as tumor size and invasion depth. For further details on prognosis, prevention, and management, and to access this chapter for free in June, visit VISUOG. ISUOG membership also provides access to over 200 chapters, on-demand lectures, and more with a 10% discount using the code VISUOG10.
