Evaluation of Pedal Lymphangiography in Staging Non-Seminomatous Testicular Carcinoma

Abstract
An analysis is presented on 45 patients undergoing pedal lymphangiography followed by retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for nonseminomatous testicular carcinoma. Retroperitoneal node metastases were predicted correctly with the lymphangiogram in 10 of 20 patients (50%). The overall predictive accuracy was 62%.
