  • Description: Recently the revised 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system for cervical cancer was published. In this most recent classification, imaging modalities and pathologic information have been added as tools to determine the final stage of the disease. Although there are many merits to this new staging for cervical cancer, including more detailed categorization of early-stage disease as well as information on nodal distribution, the classification falls short in clarifying areas of controversy in the staging system. Many unanswered questions remain and, as such, a number of gaps lead to further debate in the interpretation of relevant clinical data. Factors such as measurement of tumor size, definition of parametrial involvement, ovarian metastases, lower uterine segment extension, lymph node metastasis, and imaging modalities are explored in this review. The goal is to focus on items that deserve further discussion and clarification in the most recent FIGO staging for cervical cancer.
