Overveiw

On ultraasound, cervical cancer is characterized by hypoechoic, heterogeneous mass involving the cervix.

Ultrasound

  • hypoechoic, heterogeneous mass involving the cervix[1]
  • may show increased vascularity on colour Doppler
  • although cervical cancer is staged clinically, ultrasound can be a useful adjunct by showing
  • size (<4 cm or >4 cm)
  • parametrial invasion
  • tumour invasion into the vagina
  • tumor invasion into adjacent organs
  • hydronephrosis: implies stage IIIB tumour.
