LYMPHOGRAPHY IN SURGICALLY UNRESECTABLE ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE EXOCRINE PANCREAS

Abstract

Bipedal lymphograms were performed on 28 consecutive

previously untreated patients with biopsy

proven and surgically unresectable carcinoma of the

pancreas. Four of these patients had findings indicating

lymph node metastases. In three of these

4 patients, the lymphogram provided the only

evidence of metastatic disease. The information provided

by bipedal lymphography may be useful in

treatment planning.
