PREDICTION OF HYPOECHOIC LESIONS ON ULTRASOUND OF PROSTATE CANCER BASED ON PSA INTERVAL AND GLEASON GROUP

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate hypoechoic lesion in transrectal ultrasonography of prostate (TRUS-P) predictive value on prostate cancer based on PSA Interval and Gleason Group. Material & Methods: An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design take place from January 2015 to December 2018 analyzing patients who had undergone TRUS-P Biopsy at Hasan Sadikin Hospital. Patients are divided into several subgroups according to different PSA levels. A p-value 20 ng/ml, hypoechoic lesions were significantly associated with Gleason Group. Conclusion: We concluded in our study that the hypoechoic lesion in transurethral ultrasonography of prostate could improve the predictive efficacy for diagnosing prostate cancer.
