    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Transrectal prostatic sonography is an emerging imaging technique.
    • Accurate detection and staging of prostate cancer are crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the method of transrectal prostatic sonography.
    • To evaluate its diagnostic performance for prostate cancer.
    • To assess its utility in early recognition, staging, and treatment control.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of the transrectal prostatic sonography technique.
    • Analysis of over 2700 patient examinations.
    • Comparison of transrectal and suprapubic sonographic approaches.

    Main Results:

    • Sensitivity for prostatic carcinomas was 88.7%.
    • Specificity for prostatic carcinomas was 97.3%.
    • Demonstrated value in early cancer detection, staging, and treatment monitoring.

    Conclusions:

    • Transrectal prostatic sonography is a highly sensitive and specific method for diagnosing prostate cancer.
    • This imaging modality is effective for the early detection, staging, and management of prostate carcinomas.
    • Sonographic determination of prostate size and approach comparison are important considerations.
