title: Cystosonography in the staging of gynecological malignancy.
abstract: Five patients with carcinoma of the cervix and one with carcinoma of the vagina were examined by both cystoscopy and endosonography. Both techniques revealed malignant infiltration of the bladder in 4 patients. In the other 2 cystoscopy showed an intact bladder mucosa despite cystosonographic evidence of invasion of the bladder wall by tumor.
