Abstract

The lymphatic system is of considerable importance in the spread of malignant tumors. Lymphography provides a simple and direct radiological method of demonstrating clinically unsuspected metastases in lymph nodes. Our study was intended to assess the role of lymphography in the management of the genitourinary tract tumors. The following results were obtained 1) It is helpful in the assessment of plaints with carcinoma of the penis, who have inguinal metastasis and are under consideration of inguinal lymphadenectomy. 2) It is helpful in determining the radiation portals. 3) It is helpful in deciding the stage of disease and in expecting the prognosis. 4) It is superior to IVP in detecting retroperitoneal metastasis. 5) It is valuable in confirming the completeness of lymphadenectomy. 6) It is helpful in reviewing the response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and also in the evaluation of recurrence within one year.
