Twenty-four patients with carcinoma of the bronchus had lung scans performed with gallium-67. The results were compared with corresponding chest radiographs. In four patients who had been treated with radiotherapy or cytotoxic drugs, there was no uptake of isotope in the lesion. The isotope, however, identified the neoplasm accurately in 17 out of the 20 cases (85%). The relative distribution of isotope in neoplastic tissue and adjacent inflammatory reaction is discussed as well as those cases in which either the radiograph or the scan failed to demonstrate the malignant lesion. Gallium scanning in this study failed to indicate the extension of growth into the mediastinal glands.
24例支气管癌患者接受了镓-67肺部扫描。将结果与相应的胸部X光片进行比较。在4例接受过放疗或细胞毒性药物治疗的患者中，病变部位未摄取同位素。然而，该同位素在20例中的17例（85%）中准确识别出了肿瘤。文中讨论了同位素在肿瘤组织和相邻炎症反应中的相对分布，以及X光片或扫描未能显示恶性病变的那些病例。本研究中的镓扫描未能显示肿瘤生长向纵隔淋巴结的扩展情况。
