Percutaneous fine-needle biopsy of radiographically normal lymph nodes in the staging of prostatic carcinoma
Journal Article

· Radiology; (United States)
Bipedal lymphography was interpreted as normal in 24 patients with low-grade prostatic carcinoma. Six to ten pelvic lymph nodes in each patient were biopsied transperitoneally under local anesthesia during fluoroscopy, revealing metastases in 6 patients. This method may replace surgery and internal biopsy in staging not only prostatic carcinoma but also other urogenital tumors.
