Abstract:
Objective To explore the significance of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of cervical carcinoma. Methods 45 patients undergoing surgery for cervical carcinoma were enrolled. Transvaginal color Doppler flow imaging was performed preoperatively to detect the arterial blood flow signals within the tumors and the lowest resistance index (RI) value was recorded for analysis. Results Significant difference RI values were noted in cervical carcinoma group compared with contrast group (P <0.001). RI were associated with tumor diameter, stage status, pathologic grade and pelvic lymph node metastasis of cervical carcinoma(P < 0.05). There were no relations between RI and patients's age and pathologic type (P >0.05). Conclusion The angiogenesis character of cervical carcinoma can be showed by RI, and RI had some inherent connections with clinicopathologic parameters of cervical carcinoma. Transvaginal color doppler ultrasound could accurately predict angiogenesis of cervical carcinoma preoperatively and be of importance in the diagnosis of cervical carcinoma. It could provide standard in prognosis evaluation.
