Summary

Computed tomography (CT) and lymphangiography (LAG) show similar diagnostic accuracy for cancer staging. However, CT offers superior specificity, while LAG is more sensitive for early-stage tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Context:

  • The study addresses the declining use of lymphangiography (LAG) in radiological staging.
  • It compares LAG with computed tomography (CT) and lymphadenectomy histology.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the relevance of LAG as a radiological staging method.
  • To correlate LAG findings with CT and histological results.

Summary:

  • Diagnostic accuracy of LAG and CT is comparable (71.4% vs. 70.6%).
  • CT demonstrates higher specificity (88.2%) than LAG (58.8%).
  • LAG shows superior sensitivity (63.2%) for early-stage tumors compared to CT (52.6%).

Impact:

  • LAG is not recommended for intrapelvic urological and gynecological tumors.

  • LAG remains indicated for specific seminoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma stages.
  • Future LAG use should be limited to specialized oncological centers.
