Transvaginal ultrasound can be used for staging of cervical cancer. It can provide great accuracy in detecting bladder involvement or distant metastasis in abdomen.

Ultrasound

  • Transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound can be used in predicting response to chemotherapy in women with cervical cancer. [1]
  • Doppler ultrasound can pedict tumor volume based on angiogenesis, intramural vascularization and hemodynamic flow.
  • Tranvaginal ultrasound also is helpful in detecting small size tumor and invasion to lymph nodes.
