Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the values of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer with different Nevin stages.
METHODS: The ultrasonographic characteristics of 553 gallbladder cancer cases proved by surgery and pathological diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS: No cases with gallbladder cancers of Nevin stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ were diagnosed by ultrasonography, while the diagnostic accuracy was 3.61%, 50.00%, 99.49%, respectively, for the stage-Ⅲ, -Ⅳ, and -Ⅴ gallbladder cancers.
CONCLUSION: Ultrasonography can hardly diagnose gallbladder cancers of Nevin stage Ⅰand Ⅱ. For the stage-Ⅲ cancers, ultrasonography presents a low diagnostic accuracy, but for the stage-Ⅳ and -Ⅴ cancers, ultrasonography shows a relatively higher one.
