Abstract
A total of 121 patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate who underwent lymphangiography and, when indicated, subsequent fine needle aspiration biopsy of lymph nodes are reported. The clinical staging correlation with this procedure reveals an assumed falsely negative rate of 5-15% . The falsely positive rate is 0. This procedures is essentially without morbidity, allows more confident prostatic cancer staging and makes appropriate therapeutic recommendations.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
