| Popis: | Twenty-five consecutive patients with lung tumors were classified according to the presence of metastases by the use of 57Co-Bleomycin scintigraphy. Twenty-two of the tumors were visualized but metastatic spread to hilar lymph nodes was not detected. Reliable separation of central tumors with and without growth into neighbouring organs was not possible. Mediastinal uptake was found in eight cases but only a part of these could be verified by operation. The method can contribute to the evaluation of lung tumors and can be helpful to avoid some unnecessary thoracotomies. |
