[Radioisotopic methods of studying the pelvic lymphatic system in patients with cancer of the cervix and corpus uteri].
An original method of studying the functional state of the lymphatic system-lymphotachoradiography, elaborated in the Institute of Experimental and Clinical Oncology of the USSR Acadeny of Medical Sciences, was found to be rather effective in estimating metastatic spread of the uterine cervix and body cancer. The coefficients of phagocytosis of colloid particles by lymphoid tissue are determined. Normal coefficients are equal for inguinal, iliac and paraaortic groups of lymph nodes to 1.60+/-0.05; 1.40+/-+/-0.04; 1.10+/-0.10 accordingly. In some pathological changes in lymph nodes these coefficients are changed: 0.41+/-0.01; 0.48+/-0.01; 0.24+/-0.05, correspondingly.
