NLS - Research Biophilia Intruder and Cervical Cancer

Cervical malignancy has a leading position worldwide and is considered to be the main cause of tumor morbidity and mortality structure. The prevalence rate of cervical cancer (CUC) ranks fourth after gastric cancer, respiratory organ cancer and skin cancer. Despite mass preventive testing using cytology screening, the incidence of invasive carcinoma of the cervix has slowly declined. Therefore, precise assessment of disease extension becomes very important - otherwise it is very difficult to choose an appropriate treatment. Today, not only are various invasive diagnostic methods used to meet this requirement, but we are seeing more and more research use cases for NLS. Due to its high informative value, non-invasive basis, absence of radiation stress, and versatility, NLS studies have become quite common as the most economical, simple, and at the same time reliable evaluation of small pelvic organs. However, detection of cervical lesions by NLS methods remains a controversial and unexplored issue. Due to the active development of computer technology and the introduction of 3D NLS studies, we are faced with an urgent need to revise the previously described potential of NLS mapping based solely on 2D findings. Considering that surgical treatment is not possible in patients with invasive cervical cancer, we should correlate the data obtained from NLS and MR imaging to check the accuracy of the NLS study results by assessing tumor size, margins and extent of disease .

NLS-studies of the cervix were performed using the Biophilia Intruder system, 4.9GHz generator frequency and continuous screw.
