CT Abdomen and Pelvis Without IV Contrast For stage I patients who undergo nonfertility sparing treatment, use of imaging for surveillance of cervical cancer in asymptomatic patients should be based on symptomatology and the degree of clinical concern such as clinical examination findings or pelvic, abdominal, or pulmonary symptoms [37]. For stage II to IV patients, CT of the abdomen and pelvis may be used within 3 to 6 months after completion of therapy; however, NCCN guidelines indicate a preference for PET/CT for this purpose [37]. Although the use of IV contrast material is preferred, the assessment may be performed without IV contrast. Imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis is often concurrently performed. CT Chest With IV Contrast For stage I patients who undergo nonfertility sparing treatment, the use of imaging for surveillance of cervical cancer in asymptomatic patients should be based on symptomatology and the degree of clinical concern such as clinical examination findings or pelvic, abdominal, or pulmonary symptoms [37]. For stage II to IV patients, CT of the chest may be used within 3 to 6 months after completion of therapy; however, NCCN guidelines indicate a preference for PET/CT for this purpose [37]. Use of IV contrast is generally preferred. Imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis is often concurrently performed. CT Chest Without and With IV Contrast For stage I patients who undergo nonfertility sparing treatment, the use of imaging for surveillance of cervical cancer in asymptomatic patients should be based on symptomatology and the degree of clinical concern such as clinical examination findings or pelvic, abdominal, or pulmonary symptoms [37]. For stage II to IV patients, CT of the chest may be used within 3 to 6 months after completion of therapy; however, NCCN guidelines indicate a preference for PET/CT for this purpose [37]. Dual-phase study without and with IV contrast is unnecessary.
