title: Scintiscan methods in cancer diagnosis.
abstract: Scintiscan techniques, while having certain disadvantages, are nevertheless capable of providing considerable information about the localization and staging of malignant disease, the follow up of the effects of therapy, and the recognition of some complications of cancer. The methods used are simple and safe, and, with explanation, have a high degree of patient acceptance. These techniques will play a considerable role in the management of malignant disease in the forseeable future.
