Forty patients with prostatic carcinoma underwent lymphography and pelvic lymphadenectomy. Node-by-node comparisons between radiology and histology findings yielded high false-negative rates for the lymphogram as a staging tool. False-positive and false-negative rates depend on the viewpoint taken: we argue that these rates should be expressed in terms of the disease, not the in vivo test. Lymphography has serious defects as a staging manoeuvre, but pelvic lymphadenectomy carries greater morbidity and mortality in its train.
40例前列腺癌患者接受了淋巴造影和盆腔淋巴结切除术。将放射学和组织学结果逐节点进行比较，结果显示淋巴造影作为一种分期工具的假阴性率很高。假阳性率和假阴性率取决于所采用的观点：我们认为这些比率应以疾病为依据来表示，而非以体内检测为依据。淋巴造影作为一种分期手段存在严重缺陷，但盆腔淋巴结切除术随之带来的发病率和死亡率更高。
