Is it possible for doctors to see cancer in transvaginal ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible; not likely: Transvaginal ultrasound (tvus) is more sensitive in evaluating pelvis anatomy. One could 'see' smaller tumors with tvus, however this does not indicate ability to distinguish malignant from benign tissue, which requires pathologic microscopic evaluation.
