Correlation of Stiffness of Prostate Cancer Measured by Shear Wave Elastography with Grade Group: A Preliminary Study

The aim of study was to explore the correlation between shear wave elastography (SWE) and grade group (GG) of prostate cancer (PCa). This retrospective study involved prostate-specific antigen elevated patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels who underwent SWE before transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsy. A total of 49 PCa lesions were reviewed after radical prostatectomy; 3 –7 regions of interest were placed within the cancerous area on axial view compared with the tumor foci outlined on the slides by pathologist.
