[Value of lumbo-aortic curettage in stage I and IIA tubal cancers].
Results of a 7-year follow-up review of a patient with intratubal cancer and lumbo-aortic glands invasion are reported. The highly lympholytic character of these tumors and the existence of elective lumbo-aortic lymph node metastases suggest that surgery should include routine bilateral lumbo-aortic curettage in tubal cancer, particularly stages I and IIA. As well as providing improved assessment of degree of extension of the disease it can also avoid the frequently poorly tolerated abdominopelvic radiotherapy.
