To investigate the values of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography (TV-CDU) and electronic colposcope in the diagnosis of early cervical cancer.
Methods:
49 patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer were detected by both TV-CDU and electronic colposcope before surgery. The diagnostic accuracies of TV-CDU
electronic colposcope and combination of them were analyzed. Their diagnostic concordance was also analyzed.
Results:
The accuracy of diagnosing early cervical cancer was 77.55% (38/49) by TV-CDU
81.63% (40/49) by electronic colposcope and 91.84% (45/49) by combination of them. There was less concordance in the diagnosis of early cervical cancer between TV-CDU and electronic colposcope (=-0.12
8).
Conclusion:
The combination of TV-CDU and electronic colposcope is useful in the diagnosis of early cervical cancer.
