Transrectal Ultrasound in Post-Treatment Monitoring
After prostate cancer therapy, including surgery or radiation, TRUS is useful for monitoring the prostate and surrounding tissues. It allows physicians to evaluate treatment response, detect residual disease, or assess structural changes.
TRUS can identify scar tissue, recurrence of nodules, or changes in prostate volume that may indicate a need for further intervention. Regular monitoring with TRUS ensures timely management and provides reassurance for patients during recovery.
Its safety and non-radiative nature make it suitable for repeated evaluations over time.
