| Popis: | Summary— The accuracy of CT scanning prior to para-aortic lymphadenectomy was assessed in 108 patients with metastatic testicular teratoma. In 106 its presence was confirmed by surgery. The site was accurately predicted in 95%. A good correlation (P < 0.0025) was found between mean tumour cross-sectional area assessed by CT scanning and that measured in the excised pathological specimens. |
