Preoperative Assessment of Cervical Involvement in Endometrial Cancer by Transvaginal Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective:  To compare the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting cervical infiltration by endometrial carcinoma using meta-analysis assessment.

Methods:  An extensive search of papers comparing TVS and MRI for assessing cervical infiltration in endometrial cancer in the same set of patients was performed in Medline (Pubmed), Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database. Quality was assessed using QUADAS-2 tool (Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2).
