Radiocolloid internal mammary lymphoscintigraphy (IML) was evaluated in 364 patients with ovarian carcinoma to determine the frequency of abnormalities in post-operative patients, the association between the results of the lymphoscintigram and known clinical prognostic variables, and to establish whether IML yielded predictive information independent of these variables. Results of IML showed a correlation with established clinical prognostic features and yielded independent prognostic information. The sensitivity and specificity of IML in predicting relapse are 51% and 71% respectively, indicating that a single post-operative IML does not predict relapse or freedom from relapse with sufficient accuracy to make it a clinically useful test even though it provides an independent prediction of relapse.
对364例卵巢癌患者进行了放射性胶体乳内淋巴结闪烁显像（IML），以确定术后患者异常情况的发生率、淋巴闪烁显像结果与已知临床预后变量之间的关联，并确定IML是否能提供独立于这些变量的预测信息。IML结果与既定的临床预后特征相关，并产生了独立的预后信息。IML预测复发的敏感性和特异性分别为51%和71%，这表明单次术后IML不能以足够的准确性预测复发或无复发，使其成为一项临床有用的检查，尽管它能提供复发的独立预测。
