The value of Cobalt-57 bleomycin (57Co-BLM) scintigraphy in the detection of lymph node metastases in the hilum and mediastinum was investigated in 132 patients with peripherally located lung cancer. In one half of the patients with metastases, these were visualized. Specificity was 98%. These results were better than those obtained with chest radiography and conventional roentgen tomography. 57Co-BLM scintigraphy is routinely used in the staging of patients with lung cancer, obviating the need for mediastinoscopy.
对132例周围型肺癌患者研究了钴-57博来霉素(57Co-BLM)闪烁扫描术在检测肺门和纵隔淋巴结转移方面的价值。在有转移的患者中,一半患者的转移灶得以显影。特异性为98%。这些结果优于胸部X线摄影和传统X线断层扫描的结果。57Co-BLM闪烁扫描术常规用于肺癌患者的分期,无需进行纵隔镜检查。
