Evaluation of pedal lymphangiography in staging non-seminomatous testicular carcinoma.
An analysis is presented on 45 patients undergoing pedal lymphangiography followed by retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for non-seminomatous testicular carcinoma. Retroperitoneal node metastases were predicted correctly with the lymphangiogram in 10 of 20 patients (50 per cent). The over-all predictive accuracy was 62 per cent.
