Lymphography in prostatic cancer

The frequency and area of lumphogenic metastasis with relation to the histological structure, differentiati of local dissemination of a primary tumor were determined at lymphography of 114 patients with prostatic cancer. Lymph node involvement was often observed in poorly differentiated and solid trabecular adenocarcinoma, scirrhous cancer and locally disseminated tumors extending beyond the prostatic capsule. Metastases were usually locaded in the external and common inguinal lymph nodes. Lymphography was shown to be indicated to patients with a local spread of prostatic cancer (T2, T3 and T4)
