• Visual assessment of parametrial invasion on MRI was not significantly associated with prognosis in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). • A greater degree of parametrial invasion is associated with poorer disease-free survival and cancer-specific survival in patients with LACC without metastatic lymph node involvement. • The degree of parametrial invasion at MRI has no correlation with prognosis in LACC with metastatic lymph nodes.
