Peroperative staging of renal carcinoma. A methodologic comparison.
Angiography, computed tomography and ultrasonography were compared with respect to staging of renal carcinoma in 41 patients with 46 renal tumours. Angiography and ultrasonography gave correct staging in 52% and 48%, respectively, while correct staging was achieved with computed tomography in 80% of the tumours.
