title: Angiography in the diagnosis and staging of pelvic neoplasms.
abstract: The efficacy of arteriography in the staging of pelvic neoplasms was examined in 447 patients. It was found to be most useful in defining advanced neoplastic disease, improving accuracy of staging in these patients by about 18%. In patients with early pelvic neoplastic disease, arteriography reduced the number of false positives.
