Zusammenfassung: | Twenty-five men with histopathologic diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma were staged utilizing traditional staging modalities and transrectal ultrasound of the prostate (TRUSP). A comparison was then done with surgical-pathologic stage. TRUSP accurately predicted the local extent of disease in 84 percent of patients, while digital rectal examination understaged in 64 percent of patients. TRUSP is a valuable adjunct to staging prostate cancer prior to definitive therapy. |
