: Institutional review board approval was obtained.
: Some study subjects or cohorts have been previously reported in three other articles. Two of these studies analyze exclusively US parameters (“Prospective multimodal imaging assessment of locally advanced cervical cancer patients administered by chemoradiation followed by radical surgery. The PRICE (PRospective Imaging of CErvical cancer and neoadjuvant treatment) study: the role of ultrasound” and “Prospective multimodal imaging assessment of locally advanced cervical cancer patients administered by chemoradiation followed by radical surgery. The PRICE (PRospective Imaging of CErvical cancer and neoadjuvant treatment) study 2: the role of ultrasound after chemoradiation to assess residual tumor”). The third study analyzes the role of DW-MRI in the early prediction of tumor response (“The PRICE study: the role of conventional and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in assessment of locally advanced cervical cancer patients administered by chemoradiation followed by radical surgery”).
