Abstract
A technique was developed using bleomycin and 57cobalt to study nodal metastases in testis tumors. Comparative studies were made on 15 cases with 67gallium, lymphangiography, supraclavicular node biopsy, liver and spleen scans, chest x-ray, excretory urogram, bone survey and pathological study of surgical specimens when possible. The results with the bleomycin-57cobalt complex and 67gallium were discouraging. The bleomycin-57cobalt study was discontinued. Pathological staging is still the most accurate of all modalities available for staging testicular malignancies.Keywords
