  • Title: [Lymphangiography in ovarian cancer].
    Author: Lang JH.
    Journal: Zhonghua Fu Chan Ke Za Zhi; 1989 Jan; 24(1):29-31, 58. PubMed ID: 2758901.
    Abstract:
    Lymphangiography (LAG) and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy were performed in 30 patients with ovarian cancer from May 1985 to Oct. 1986. The results showed that preoperative radiologic-postoperative histologic correlation was 83.3%. There was no false negativity in lymphographic diagnosis of the pelvic node metastases but two false negatives in the para-aortic node. The single most reliable criterion for LAG diagnosis of metastases was a filling-defect in the nodes. The value of LAG as an aid in staging and planning therapy was discussed.
