Lymphography and computed tomography in the assessment of lymphnode invasion by bladder cancer. Comparison of diagnostic value
- 1. Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Pitie-Salpetriere, 75 - Paris (France)
Description
The diagnostic value of lymphography and computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of lymph node invasion by bladder cancers has been compared on the basis of 30 observations. Although computed tomography apparently yields better results (reliability: 93%) than lymphography (reliability: 87%), these findings have no statistical significance. The study of literature shows that the statistical exploitation of the results was seldom carried out. The combination of both exploration techniques seems to improve predictive values, but this improvement was not statistically significant in the study
Abstract (French)
A partir de 30 observations; les valeurs diagnostiques de la lymphographie et de la tomodensitometrie, dans le bilan d'extension ganglionnaire des cancers de la vessie, sont comparees. Les meilleurs resultats apparents de la tomodensitometrie (fiabilite: 93%) contre la lymphographie (fiabilite: 87%) n'ont pas de signification statistique. La revue de la litterature montre que souvent cette exploitation statistique des resultats n'est pas effectuee; l'association des deux methodes d'investigation semble ameliorer les valeurs predictives; cette amelioration n'a pas ete statistiquement significative dans cette etudeAdditional details
