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.
