Fifty-two women with symptoms or signs suggesting pelvic recurrence of biopsy-proved pelvic cancer were assessed in a prospective trial by clinical examination, transabdominal pelvic ultrasonography (TAU), computed tomography (CT), and transrectal pelvic ultrasonography (TRU). TRU significantly added to the information from TAU in the measurement of abnormalities on the pelvic sidewalls, and to TAU and CT in the measurement of abnormalities in the central and presacral regions of the pelvis. Results of this preliminary study suggest that TRU may provide information complementary to that from CT in women with suspected recurrence of gynecologic cancer.
在一项前瞻性试验中，对52名有活检证实的盆腔癌盆腔复发症状或体征的女性进行了临床检查、经腹盆腔超声检查（TAU）、计算机断层扫描（CT）和经直肠盆腔超声检查（TRU）评估。在测量盆腔侧壁异常方面，TRU显著补充了TAU所提供的信息；在测量盆腔中央和骶前区域异常方面，TRU补充了TAU和CT所提供的信息。这项初步研究的结果表明，对于怀疑有妇科癌症复发的女性，TRU可能提供与CT互补的信息。
