Abstract
Cancer of the cervix is ​​common in Madagascar. The recent advent of MRI in our country has changed the management of this pathology. The objective of this work is to describe the aspects of cervical cancer on MRI by establishing a FIGO-MRI classification and to assess the role of MRI in post-treatment follow-up. It was a prospective descriptive study lasting 11 months, at the Medical Imaging Center of the Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona University Hospital Center (CHUJRA); on the extension assessment and follow-up of cervical cancer by pelvic MRI, using a 0.35 Tesla device from the SIEMENS® brand, by studying the files and images of patients who have undergone pelvic MRI for initial work-up or post-treatment evaluation of cervical cancer with histological evidence. Thirty-three cases were collected, with a prevalence of 35.87%. The average age was 55, with extremes of 34 to 76. The main risk factor found is the absence of HPV vaccination. The main reason for consultation was metrorrhagia. Adenocarcinomas accounted for a large number (64%). On MRI, 61% of patients had a tumor size greater than 4 cm. Loco-regional infiltrations were the most recorded. Cancer of the cervix is ​​common in Madagascar. Pelvic MRI plays an important role in the initial extension assessment and post-treatment follow-up of this pathology.
