Study Summary

This trial uses PET/MRI scans to check for the spread of cervical cancer in patients who are eligible for surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with suspected early-stage cervical cancer (IA1-IB3) that can potentially be removed by surgery. Participants must not have tumors larger than 4 cm, should have no issues with undergoing MRI scans, and will be having their surgical procedure at MD Anderson.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is evaluating the effectiveness of PET/MRI scans using Gadobutrol and Fludeoxyglucose F-18 in assessing the spread of early-stage cervical cancer before surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to contrast agents like Gadobutrol such as headache, nausea, or allergic reactions; and discomfort during the PET/MRI scan process.
