Radiocolloid internal mammary lymphoscintigrams were carried out in 249 women who had undergone partial mastectomy. Only 39 patients, or 15%, had axillary sampling; of these, 19 were positive. At last follow-up, a minimum of two years from the date of study, the overall recurrence rate was 67% for patients with an abnormal lymphoscintigram and 34% for those with a normal lymphoscintigram. Actuarial survival rates projected to five years indicate a statistically significant difference in the prognostic implications of the normal and abnormal internal mammary lymphoscintigram, with 83 and 59% survival rates, respectively.
对249例行部分乳房切除术的女性进行了放射性胶体乳腺内淋巴闪烁造影。仅39例患者（15%）进行了腋窝取样；其中19例为阳性。在自研究日期起至少两年的最后随访中，淋巴闪烁造影异常的患者总复发率为67%，而淋巴闪烁造影正常的患者为34%。预计至五年的精算生存率表明，正常和异常乳腺内淋巴闪烁造影的预后意义存在统计学显著差异，生存率分别为83%和59%。
