N2 - Sixteen patients with cervical cancer underwent radical surgery following standard clinical staging, MRI, and CT. The sensitivity of the CT scan was 14%, the specificity 100%. MRI had a sensitivity of 28% and a specificity of 64%. The clinical stage was correct in 10 of 16 patients (62%). CT and MRI are not individually or collectively better than clinical staging in predicting extent of disease, and currently should not be included in the FIGO staging for cervix cancer.
