Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) has been used for over 1,700 prostate procedures since 1984. While no single finding definitively identifies prostate cancer, TRUS offers valuable insights for urologic diagnosis and management.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) has been utilized in urology since 1984.
  • Over 1,700 TRUS procedures have been performed, contributing to extensive clinical experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update findings on transrectal ultrasonography of the prostate.
  • To identify diagnostic patterns for prostate cancer, especially in early stages.
  • To define the current role of TRUS in urologic practice.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a specific urologic ultrasound system (Aloka SSD 520) with a 5 MHz transrectal probe.
  • Conducted investigations into various prostate pathologies (cancer, prostatitis, adenoma) and procedures (biopsy, puncture, sonometry).
  • Performed comparative studies between traditional methods and TRUS.

Main Results:

  • No pathognomonic finding for prostate cancer has been identified to date.
  • Certain poorly described aspects of TRUS have emerged, aiding in diagnosis.
  • Statistical data and current viewpoints on TRUS applications are presented.

Conclusions:

  • TRUS plays a significant role in urologic diagnostics, despite the absence of a single definitive sign for cancer.
  • The concept of integral urologic ultrasonography, encompassing all TRUS activities, is supported.
  • The study synthesizes years of investigative effort, providing a comprehensive view of TRUS in prostate evaluation.
