Zusammenfassung:TRUS allows visualization of the internal anatomy of the prostate gland. Knowledge of zonal prostate anatomy allows more accurate staging of prostate cancer by use of strategic TRUS-guided biopsy of sites of possible tumor extension. These biopsies may be facilitated via the transrectal route using an atuomatic Biopty system. TRUS is twice as sensitive as DRE and is capable of detecting nonpalpable prostate cancer. TRUS can detect nonpalpable tumors with average dimensions as small as 1.0 em.
