Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the value of ultrasound associated elastography in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Material and Method: 74 patients with suspected prostate cancer was performed transrectal multiparametric ultrasound  includes 2D, color Doppler and elastography, was compare with Histological results follow transrectal US guide system biopsy12 core at the Viet Duc Hospital from May 2020 to June 2021. Results: This study has 28/74 patients with prostate cancer (38%), detect 78/296 cancer lesions located in two main zones are peripheral zone (36) and transition zone (42). Diagnosis cancer in peripheral zone on 2D, 2D+color Doppler, 2D+color Doppler+SE has sensitivity of 72.2%, 72.2%, 80.6%, respectively. Diagnosis cancer in transition zone on 2D, 2D+color Doppler, 2D+Doppler+SE has sensitivity of 40.5%, 66.7%, 85.7%. Conclusion: Transrectal ultrasound 2D has high sensitivity in the diagnosis prostate cancer in the peripheral zone and low sensitivity in the diagnosis prostate cancer in the transition zone. To combine two or three technical ultrasound increase the sensitivity in diagnosis prostate cancer, especially in transition zone. Sonoelastography is supplement way to increase sensitivity in the diagnosis prostate .
