A frontal tomographic whole-body gallium-67-citrate scan was performed on 30 patients with renal cell carcinoma. Positive gallium uptake by the kidney in 20 patients (66.7%) correlated well with the clinicopathologically higher stage and grade of the tumor and with abnormal values in prognostic indexes in the blood. Thus, a negative gallium uptake may be indicative of an improved clinical course and longer survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma.
对30例肾细胞癌患者进行了一次正面断层全身枸橼酸镓-67扫描。20例患者（66.7%）的肾脏出现镓摄取阳性，这与肿瘤在临床病理上的更高分期和分级以及血液中预后指标的异常值密切相关。因此，镓摄取阴性可能表明肾细胞癌患者的临床病程改善且生存期延长。
