title: [The value of ultrasonographic examination in the diagnosis of recurrent kidney cancer after nephrectomy].
abstract: The material of 45 patients in whom the USG examination have been carried out in the Ultrasonographic Unit of the Radiodiagnostic Department of the Oncology Center since May 1986 until September 1987 has been analysed, to estimate the value of the ultrasonographic examination for detection of the local recurrence and metastases to the internal organs in patients after nephrectomy because of renal cancer. In 37 patients USG examination did not reveal changes. In 8 cases USG examination disclosed changes, resulting in the initiation of adequate treatment. All these patients are alive having further follow up. The smallest recurrent change detected had dimensions 21 x 13 x 16 mm. The analysis of presented material indicates that the USG examination in the course of follow up of patients after operative treatment of the renal cancer and in the course of therapy of changes detected, seems necessary.
