title: [The importance of lymphoscintigraphy in breast cancer].
abstract: The comparison of results of axillary lymphoscintigraphy with those of morphological examination of surgically removed lymph nodes in 78 patients with breast cancer showed overall reliability of the method to be 0.72, specificity--0.56 and sensitivity--0.92. Data of lymphoscintigraphy performed in 82 breast cancer patients to form fields of parasternal lymph node irradiation suggested enlarging standard field by 4 cm in 90.2% of cases and by 5 cm--in 54.9%.
