We evaluated 137 patients with bladder cancer submitted to surgery in order to determine the usefulness of intravesical ultrasonography (IVU) in tumor staging. The characteristic scan images were defined for each tumor stage. The application of the ultrasound patterns yielded an accuracy rate of 91% for tumors Ta"1 and 71% for T4. Based on the results of this study, IVU does not appear to be useful as an intraoperative monitoring technique.
我们评估了137例接受手术的膀胱癌患者，以确定膀胱内超声检查（IVU）在肿瘤分期中的作用。为每个肿瘤分期定义了特征性扫描图像。超声模式的应用对Ta-1期肿瘤的准确率为91%，对T4期肿瘤的准确率为71%。基于本研究结果，IVU似乎不作为一种术中监测技术。
