Of 75 scalene node biopsies 18 (24%) were positive. In 56 metastasizing carcinomas of the cervix 11 (20%) scalene node biopsies were positive. In primary inoperable cases (57%) or in recurrent spreading cases (54%) of carcinoma of the cervix the scalene node biopsy is valuable for the treatment plan. Irrespective of treatment the patients with metastases to the scalene node survived a mean of 10--11 months. The scalene node biopsy has few complications (6.7%). In the less than 3% carcinomas of the cervix confined to metastases in the lesser pelvis, the scalene node biopsy is not necessary. 2/3 of the prescalene lymph node metastases can be palpated by an experienced examinar.
在75例斜角肌淋巴结活检中，18例（24%）呈阳性。在56例子宫颈转移性癌中，11例（20%）斜角肌淋巴结活检呈阳性。在子宫颈癌的原发性无法手术病例（57%）或复发性扩散病例（54%）中，斜角肌淋巴结活检对治疗方案有价值。无论采用何种治疗方法，发生斜角肌淋巴结转移的患者平均存活10 - 11个月。斜角肌淋巴结活检的并发症很少（6.7%）。在不到3%局限于小骨盆转移的子宫颈癌中，无需进行斜角肌淋巴结活检。三分之二的前斜角肌淋巴结转移可被经验丰富的检查者触及。
