Objective:
To report the potential role of 3D ultrasound to assess the response to treatment in gynecological malignancies.
Methods:
The volumes and three 3D power Doppler indices are measured in one case of cervix carcinoma and in one case of ovarian carcinoma with primary radio- and/or chemotherapy before and after treatment.
Results:
After treatment, tumor volume, vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization-flow index (VFI) were reduced in both two cases.
Conclusion:
3D ultrasound may provide a new method to assess the response to treatment in gynecological malignancies.
