Abstract
Fifty patients with proven carcinoma of the prostate were evaluated with CT [computed tomography]. The CT studies were carried out for staging and radiotherapy planning and the findings compared with rectal examination and lymphography. CT provided useful additional information to that obtained by rectal examination in 40% of patients; these findings had important implications for radiotherapy planning. There was good correlation between CT and lymphography in the assessment of pelvic lymph node involvement.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
