[Does lymphography affect the healing results in cervix cancer?]

The therapeutical results of patients suffering from cervical cancer have been proofed in a clinical retrospective study in two groups with and without preoperative lymphography. 321 patients operated on by abdominal and vaginal route in the years 1976-1981 were included. It could be demonstrated, that survival rate is not better after lymphography independent from histological type and stage or postoperative irradiation. Therefore the value of preoperative lymphography may be doubtful.
