Abstract
The effects of short-term cancer chemotherapy on the liver-spleen scintiscans of 15 patients were assessed. Half of these exhibited minimal and transient changes in the pattern of radiocolloid distribution and/or chemical liver-function tests. No examples of new focal defects were seen. Cytotoxic drugs are probably capable of inducing minor scan changes that might be attributed erroneously to intrinsic hepatic disease.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
