[Possibility of evaluating the degree of dissemination of malignant tumors of the bladder using ultrasonic tomography].
The paper discusses the results of an analysis of degree of bladder cancer expansion with the aid of ultrasonic tomography. The results of tomography were compared with surgical and pathohistologic findings. The study group included 94 patients with bladder cancer. Stages A, B, and C were distinguished on the basis of tomographic features, which correspond to T1, T2, T3 and T4 according to TNM system. Application of ultrasonic tomography in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures offers more advantage in selecting an adequate stage-oriented treatment. The tomographic examination findings were confirmed in 80.7% for stage A (T1), 81.9%--stage B (T2) and 93.4% for stage T (T3 and T4).
