Cervical Adenocarcinoma Cervical Adenosquamous Carcinoma Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Not Otherwise Specified Cervical Undifferentiated Carcinoma Recurrent Cervical Carcinoma Stage IB2 Cervical Cancer Stage II Cervical Cancer Stage IIA Cervical Cancer Stage IIB Cervical Cancer Stage III Cervical Cancer Stage IIIA Cervical Cancer Stage IIIB Cervical Cancer Stage IVA Cervical Cancer | Procedure: Computed Tomography Procedure: Diffusion Weighted Imaging Procedure: Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Radiation: Fludeoxyglucose F-18 Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography |
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo radiation therapy and receive chemotherapy per standard of care. Patients undergo dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI, diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI, and magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy at baseline, 2-2.5 weeks, 4-5 weeks, and 1 month following radiation therapy completion, and fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) at baseline, 2-2.5 weeks, and 4-5 weeks.
After completion of study, patients are followed up at least every 3-6 months for 5 years.

Diagnostic (DCE MRI, DW MRI, MR spectroscopy, FDG PET/CT)
Patients undergo radiation therapy and receive chemotherapy per standard of care. Patients undergo DCE MRI, DW MRI, and MR spectroscopy at baseline, 2-2.5 weeks, 4-5 weeks, and 1 month following radiation therapy completion, and FDG PET/CT at baseline, 2-2.5 weeks, and 4-5 weeks.

- Disease-free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
- Distant metastatic rate [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
- Local control [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Clinical/pelvic examination, pap smear, other standard of care investigations as indicated by clinical findings.
- Predictive power of the MRI and PET/CT parameters [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Hazard ratios will be calculated. Predictive power of the heterogeneity metrics will be compared and ranked with Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, lymph node status, histology, hemoglobin level, and tumor anatomic volumes. Multivariate predictive algorithms will be derived by synergizing the predictive power of imaging metrics and clinical prognosticators for clinical translation.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have histologically confirmed stage IB2-IVA epithelial carcinoma of the cervix, including squamous cell, adeno-, and undifferentiated carcinoma, and excluding small cell/neuroendocrine carcinoma, who will undergo radiation therapy for cervical cancer with curative intent
- Surgical staging with retroperitoneal staging and lymphadenectomy is permitted
- Patients who will undergo standard radiation therapy with concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy for cervical cancer
- Patients with no prior radiation therapy to the pelvis
- Patients with no contra-indications to magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
- Patients must have adequate renal function: glomerular filtration rate (GFR) > 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2; for the test-retest sub-study MRI, patients must have a GFR of > 60 mL/min/1.73m^2
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with small cell/neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma
- Patients who have received any prior pelvic radiation therapy in the area of the tumor that precludes the delivery of a curative dose of pelvic radiation
- Medical contraindication to MR imaging (e.g. pacemakers, metallic implants, aneurysm clips, known contrast allergy to gadolinium contrast, pregnancy, nursing mothers, weight greater than 350 pounds, GFR < 30)
- Major medical or psychiatric illness that, in the investigator's opinion, would prevent completion of treatment, completion of the study protocol, or interfere with follow-up
- Life expectancy of less than 6 months
