Prostate cancer volume estimations based on transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy in order to predict clinically significant prostate cancer
INTRODUCTION Tumor diameter is a reliable parameter to estimate tumor volume in solid organ cancers; its use in prostate cancer is controversial since it exhibits a more irregular pattern of growth. This study aimed to examine the association between the tumor volume estimations based on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy results and the tumor volume measured on the pathological specim...
متن کاملApplication of Bland-Altman Method in Comparing Transrectal and Transabdominal Ultrasonography for Estimating Prostate Volume
Background: Estimating prostate volume using less invasive transabdominal ultrasonography (TAUS) instead of transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) is of interest in terms of identifying their agreement level. Previous reports on this subject, applied general correlation coefficient as the level of agreement. This study uses Bland-Altman method to quantify TAUS and TRUS agreement on estimating prost...
متن کاملTransrectal ultrasonography of the prostate.
Transrectal prostatic ultrasonography has been performed in 203 patients within the last year. This new diagnostic modality has proven reliable in quantitating decrease in volume of the primary tumor following therapy in 71% of patients with prostatic carcinoma (10 of 14 patients) in whom long-term follow-up is available. In 12 patients staged prior to radical prostatectomy, prostatic ultrasono...

متن کاملComparison of Transabdominal and Transrectal Ultrasonography of the Prostate Gland in Dogs
Objective- To compare transabdominal (TA) and transrectal (TR) ultrasonography of the prostate gland. Design- Experimental study. Animals- 10 intact male dogs that required euthanasia for reasons other than prostatic disease. Procedures- Prostatic length (L), width (W) and height (H) were measured in T A (L1, W1 and H1) and TR (L2 and H2...
