Can a transvaginal ultrasound detect cervical cancer?

Transvaginal ultrasound can detect cervical cancer. However, cervical cancer is primarily diagnosed through symptoms, physical signs, and pathological examination. If symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, post-coital bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, or sacral pain are present, and if abnormal growths, cauliflower-like lesions, or a barrel-shaped cervix are observed during examination, transvaginal ultrasound may suggest the presence of a local cervical mass. Nevertheless, it cannot serve as a definitive diagnostic tool. A definitive diagnosis can be made through histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen.
