Abstract:
21% of 81 patients with malignant neoplasms of the ovaries had lymphographic evidence of metastases in regional iliac and aortic lymph nodes. The frequency of lymphatic metastases in various stages was approximately the same (FIGO stage I = 17%, II = 21%, III = 19%). About one fifth of patients therefore had to be restaged. Lymphography should be used for staging routinely, even if a laparotomy is planned.
