    Transrectal ultrasonography accurately diagnosed benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, it was less effective for primary prostate cancer diagnosis, showing significant false positive and negative rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Transrectal ultrasonography is a common imaging technique used in urology.
    • Accurate diagnosis and staging of prostate conditions are crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transrectal ultrasonography for benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.
    • To assess the utility of transrectal ultrasonography in staging known prostate cancer.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 244 transrectal prostatic ultrasonograms.
    • Comparison of ultrasonographic findings with final pathological or clinical diagnoses.

    Main Results:

    • High accuracy in diagnosing benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • Valuable for staging confirmed prostate carcinomas.

  • Disappointing as a primary diagnostic tool for cancer, with 12% false positives and 31% false negatives.

    • Conclusions:

    • Transrectal ultrasonography is effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia diagnosis.
    • Its role in primary prostate cancer detection is limited due to accuracy issues.
    • Further applications in prostatic ultrasonography warrant investigation.
