Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, with over 300,000 deaths each year. In addition to screening and prevention, effective cancer treatment is needed to reduce cervical cancer mortality. We discuss the role of imaging in cervical cancer management and estimate the potential survival impact of scaling up imaging in different contexts. Using a previously developed microsimulation model of global cancer survival we estimated stage-specific cervical cancer 5-year net survival in 200 countries/territories. We evaluated the potential survival impact of scaling up treatment (chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, targeted therapy) and imaging modalities (ultrasound, X-ray, computerized tomography [CT], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], positron emission tomography [PET], single photon emission computed tomography [SPECT]) to the mean level of high-income countries, both individually, and as packages. Estimated global cervical cancer five-year net survival is 42·1% (95% UI 33·8–48·5). Among individual imaging modalities, expanding MRI would yield the largest survival gains globally, while scaling up ultrasound would yield the largest gains in low-income countries, followed by expanding CT, which would have the most impact in Latin America and Oceania, with PET yielding the largest gains in high-income countries. Scaling up all treatment modalities could improve global 5-year net survival to 52·4% (95% UI 44·6–62·0). In addition to expanding treatment, improving quality of care could raise survival to 57·5% (95% UI 51·2–63·5), and the cumulative impact of scaling up all imaging modalities together with expanded treatment and quality of care improves survival to 62·5% (95% UI 57·7–67·8). Comprehensive scale-up of treatment, imaging, and quality of care could improve global cervical cancer 5-year net survival by 20 percentage points, with quality of care and imaging improvements each contributing about 25% of these total potential gains. These findings suggest that a narrow focus on the availability of treatment modalities may forgo substantial survival gains. Investments in imaging equipment and personnel, as well as quality of care efforts will also be needed to successfully scale-up cervical cancer treatment worldwide.
