Diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound for the depth of myometrial infiltration in early endometrial cancer: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Globally, endometrial cancer (EC) is currently one of the most common gynecologic malignancies among females. Preoperative infiltration depth analysis is important for disease progression and prognostic impact. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the infiltration depth analysis of EC.

Method

Electronic databases PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP were searched for more extensive literature on CEUS in the diagnosis of myometrial infiltration in EC patients up to March 29, 2024. Cochran Q and I² were used to assess the heterogeneity of eligible studies. Sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odd
