  • Title: The accuracy of CT scanning prior to para-aortic lymphadenectomy in patients with bulky metastases from testicular teratoma.
    Author: Kennedy CL, Husband JE, Bellamy EA, Peckham MJ, Hendry WF.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1985 Dec; 57(6):755-8. PubMed ID: 4084740.
    Abstract:
    The accuracy of CT scanning prior to para-aortic lymphadenectomy was assessed in 108 patients with metastatic testicular teratoma. In 106 its presence was confirmed by surgery. The site was accurately predicted in 95%. A good correlation (P less than 0.0025) was found between mean tumour cross-sectional area assessed by CT scanning and that measured in the excised pathological specimens.
