“…For node-positive cervical cancer patients, it may be necessary to tailor doses according to the involved lymph nodes for personalized radiotherapy. Some investigators have reported that escalating radiotherapy dose to involved lymph node can improve RC [26][27][28][29]. Increased RC prediction accuracy using lymph node features may help select patients who require dose escalation to the involved lymph nodes.…”

“…These pre‐treatment work‐ups revealed that all of the patients had PLN metastases but no other nodal or organ metastatic lesions. In this study, we regarded the following findings as evidence of PLN metastases: short axis length ≥ 10 mm on either CT or MRI, or FDG‐PET‐positive as decided by the attending radiologists . Among the 32 patients, 84 PLN metastases were detected.…”

“…49 Furthermore, CMR predicts end of treatment response; Kidd et al 50 found that maximum standardized uptake values (SUV max ) and FDG heterogeneity at 4 weeks during treatment correlated with 3-month post-treatment PET response. Yoon et al 51 reported that, in patients with FDG-avid pelvic nodal disease, failure to achieve nodal CMR correlated with a markedly reduced disease-free survival (71% with CMR vs 18%; p , 0.001). Whilst such use remains experimental, this may represent a method to flag those in need of treatment escalation.…”
