Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Through a multi-center study involving seven institutions, we reported the differentiation between low-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas and atypical uterine leiomyomas using MRI in Scientific Reports, and the insights gained were disseminated through presentations and publications. Next, employing statistics/data analysis methods, we developed a predictive model for preoperative lymph node metastasis in endometrial cancer through a collaborative study involving two institutions, and reported the results at Radiological Society of North America 2022 and European Radiology. Furthermore, with the collaboration of radiologists specialized in obstetrics and gynecology imaging across multiple centers, we established the Obstetrics and Gynecology Imaging Diagnosis Multi-Center Research Platform, GOING-RS, and are performing a multi-center study on the imaging diagnosis of gastric-type uterine cervical neoplasms.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の学術的意義は、希少疾患である低悪性度内膜間質肉腫の症例を多施設で収集して解析することでMRIの臨床的有用性を見出した点、そして複数の多施設研究の経験に基づき、専門家の集団的知性を生み出す産科婦人科領域画像診断多施設共同研究プラットフォームの礎を作ることができた点にある。 社会的意義としては、現在も本プラットフォームを利用した多施設共同研究が複数進行中であり、今後更に拡大すると予想される。本プラットフォームは、将来の産科婦人科領域の画像診断研究、さらには他領域の画像診断の多施設研究の加速に貢献することが期待される。
