[Value of radionuclide examination of the thoracic duct for the determination of the operability of esophageal cancer].
The radionuclide visualization of the thoracic lymphatic duct was fulfilled in 37 patients suspected for carcinoma of the esophagus. Operations were performed in 31 of them. Results of lymphoductoscintigraphy and of morphological examination of the operation material were compared. The authors recommend to use radionuclide investigation of the thoracic lymphatic duct in addition to other obligatory methods of examination of patients with carcinoma of the esophagus.
