  • Title: [Lymphography in staging prostatic cancer: correlations between the histo-pathological, anatomic and radiologic results in 30 patients. The role of transcutaneous lymph node biopsy].

    Journal: Radiol Med; 1982 Oct; 68(10):747-52. PubMed ID: 7156426.
    Abstract:
    Between September 1, 1978 and March 1, 1981, 35 patients with prostatic carcinoma, apparently localized (T0-3) and histologically proved, underwent pedal lymphography. 30 out of 35 underwent cytologic and/or histopathologic examination of pelvic lymph nodes, either by transcutaneous thin needle biopsy and/or pelvic lymphadenectomy. Prospective analysis demonstrated an overall lymphographic sensitivity of 84.2%, specificity of 73.7%, positive accuracy of 68.7% and negative accuracy of 78.5%. The authors herein underline the usefulness of lymphography and lymph node biopsy which, if cytologic positiveness occurs, allows to avoid pelvic lymphadenectomy.
