Abstract
Purpose of the study. Assess the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the applied methods for diagnosing prostate cancer.
Material and methods. The material of the study was a group of men in the amount of 156 men examined in the period from 2020 to 2021, who were examined at the urological department of the RSSPMCOR
Results. All our patients complained of urination disorders. Due to the combination of several symptoms of urination disorders (SUD) in the overwhelming number of patients, the sum of clinical manifestations exceeds the total number of examined in this group, the leading SUD were stranguria – 95 (79.17%) patients, nocturia – 77 (64.17%) and difficulty urinating – 68 (56.67%) patients. The sensitivity of the TRUS, coupled with ultrasound angiography, was determined by us at 90%, specificity – 87% and accuracy – 89%.
Conclusion. The combination of ultrasound and ultrasound angiography makes it possible to more fully assess the stage of the tumor and predict, with a certain degree of probability, the reaction of cancer to conservative treatment, which is very important for practical oncology as a method of dynamic control of prostate cancer therapy.
