title: [Supraclavicular ligature of lymphatic vessels for improved results of irradiation therapy in patients with metastatic cervical malignancy (author's transl)].
abstract: A method for ligature of the lymphatic vessels in the supraclavicular fossa is described. From 1971-1978, 82 of our 265 patients with malignant tumors were treated by this method in conjunction with irradiation and surgery. In 93% of these patients so treated, no secondary lymph node metastases could be found, although local recurrences from the primary tumors could not be prevented.
