    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) is a key imaging modality in urologic oncology.
    • Accurate assessment of prostatic size and local tumor staging is crucial for treatment planning.
    • Monitoring treatment efficacy, particularly in response to endocrine therapy, requires reliable imaging techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the utility of transrectal ultrasonography in prostate cancer management.
    • To discuss the role of TRUS in assessing prostatic size and local staging.
    • To explore the application of TRUS in monitoring treatment response and guiding interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing transrectal ultrasonography for prostatic size assessment.
    • Employing TRUS for local staging of prostatic carcinoma.
