  • Title: Transrectal ultrasound in the diagnosis and staging of prostatic carcinoma.
    Author: Lee F, Torp-Pedersen ST, Siders DB, Littrup PJ, McLeary RD.
    Journal: Radiology; 1989 Mar; 170(3 Pt 1):609-15. PubMed ID: 2644656.
    Abstract:
    Indications for TRUS are: (a) for diagnosis of nonpalpable cancer, or detection of cancer with greater accuracy than is possible at present; (b) for guidance of transrectal biopsies of hypoechoic lesions for histologic confirmation of cancer; (c) for guidance of staging biopsies to ensure diagnoses of extraprostatic extension; and (d) for staging previously diagnosed prostate cancer.
