Abdominal ultrasonic scanning was compared to lymphangiography and intravenous urography in 50 patients with testicular cancer. In 25 lymphangiographic stage I patients, the ultrasonic scanning was normal in all cases, too. In 5 out of 25 lymphangiographic stage II patients, the ultrasonic examination demonstrated a wider extension of the retroperitoneal metastases than combined lymphangiography and urography. The ultrasonically demonstrated masses were proven to contain malignant cells through an ultrasonically-guided fine-needle puncture in all 5 cases. Sufficient planning of the radiation ports would not have been possible in these patients without the additional ultrasonic scanning. In monitoring of the therapeutic response, ultrasonic scanning was found superior to lymphangiography.
对50例睾丸癌患者的腹部超声扫描结果与淋巴管造影及静脉肾盂造影结果进行了比较。在25例淋巴管造影显示为I期的患者中，超声扫描结果也均正常。在25例淋巴管造影显示为II期的患者中，有5例的超声检查显示腹膜后转移灶的范围比淋巴管造影和静脉肾盂造影联合检查所显示的范围更广。通过超声引导下细针穿刺，证实这5例超声显示的肿块均含有恶性细胞。如果没有额外的超声扫描，这些患者就无法进行充分的放疗野规划。在监测治疗反应方面，发现超声扫描优于淋巴管造影。
