Abstract
|
|
|
To determine the efficiency of CT scan for predicting parametrial invasion and lymph node metastasis in cervical carcinoma, preoperative CT findings of parametrial invasion and lymph node metastasis were compared with postoperative pathologic
results in
77 patients with cervical carcinoma who underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph-adenectomy from January 1990 to February 1993.
For detection of lymph node metastasis by CT scan, the accuracy was 75.7%. And for detection of parametrial invasion, the accuracies were 83.1% in CT, while 93.5% in EUA (examination under anesthesia).
It was concluded that CT was inferior to clinical evaluation in predicting the parametrial invasion, but CT was useful in detecting the pelvic lymph node metastasis which was nearly impossible by clinical evaluation.
