Transurethral bladder ultrasonography accurately estimates bladder tumor infiltration. This diagnostic method showed comparable results to pathological staging in 21 patients undergoing bladder tumor resection or cystectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate staging of bladder tumors is crucial for treatment planning.
  • Local infiltration assessment guides surgical and oncological management.
  • Transurethral ultrasonography offers a minimally invasive approach to bladder evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transurethral bladder ultrasonography.
  • To compare transurethral ultrasonography staging with pathological staging for bladder tumors.
  • To assess the reliability of transurethral ultrasonography in estimating tumor infiltration.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 21 patients with bladder tumors.
  • Patients underwent either endoscopic resection or cystectomy.

  • Clinical staging via transurethral ultrasonography was performed and compared to post-operative pathological staging.

    • Main Results:

    • Transurethral bladder ultrasonography demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy.
    • The clinical staging derived from ultrasonography was comparable to pathological staging in all evaluated cases.
    • The method effectively estimated the local infiltration of bladder tumors.

    Conclusions:

    • Transurethral bladder ultrasonography is a reliable and accurate tool for staging local infiltration of bladder tumors.
    • This imaging modality provides comparable results to pathological staging, aiding in clinical decision-making.
    • The findings support the use of transurethral ultrasonography in the preoperative assessment of bladder cancer.
