: Some study subjects or cohorts have been previously reported in the following manuscripts:• Chemoradiation with concomitant boosts followed by radical surgery in locally advanced cervical cancer: long-term results of the ROMA-2 prospective phase 2 study ().• PRospective Imaging of CErvical cancer and neoadjuvant treatment (PRICE) study: role of ultrasound to assess residual tumor in locally advanced cervical cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation and radical surgery ().• 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 ().• Prospective multimodal imaging assessment of locally advanced cervical cancer patients administered by chemoradiation followed by radical surgery-the “PRICE” study 2: role of conventional and DW-MRI ().However, we focused on a novel aspect not explored previously: parametrial invasion. This study provides new insights on the qualitative and quantitative assessment of it and uniquely contributes to the knowledge base of this patient cohort.Preliminary results of the present were presented at European Congress of Radiology (ECR 2022) and reported in the ECR 2022 Book of Abstracts [].
