Phlebography, urography and lymphography in the diagnosis of metastases from testicular tumors.
The value of lymphography from the foot, urography and phlebography of the inferior vena cava and the left renal and testicular veins in the search for retroperitoneal metastases was investigated in 120 patients with testicular tumors. Phlebography of the left renal and testicular veins was a valuable supplement to the other examinations, so that the combined use of all these methods is recommended in demonstrating metastases and in evaluating the extent of growth and effect of treatment.
