Direct Intralymphatic Injections of Radioactive Colloidal Gold in the Treatment of Malignant Disease

Benign transient lymphangiectasis (sclerosing lymphangitis) of the penis

“…The normal anatomy of penile lymphatics (Lockhart et al, 1965) has not been studied by us but we made one unsuccessful attempt to inject contrast medium for radiography into the lumen of a lesion. Lymphography has been used in studies of other penile conditions (Jantet, 1962;Janca, 1972) and study of BTLP by this method is indicated.…”

Endolymphatic Therapy with Radioactive Gold for Malignant Melanoma

“…The same formula can of course be used to calculate the dose actually received by the nodes in patients in whom it might be possible to remove the nodes, weigh them, and measure their radioactivity. In a previous publication (Jantet, 1962) we described the results in two patients in whom the nodes could be removed, weighed, and their activity measured. After injections of 30 mc 198Au into each leg, estimated levels of 26,500 and 35,000 rads were obtained in certain selected points in the excised inguinal nodes.…”

“…Some patients showed concentration of activity in nodes near the termination of the thoracic duct. Diagrams typical of the distribution have been published (Jantet, 1962).…”

“…Earlier reports on this method have been made by Jantet (1958Jantet ( , 1962 and Jantet et al (1964).…”

The Distribution of Dyes and Fluorescent Substances by the Blood Stream within Tumours

“…In view of several recent publications on the subject of intra-lymphatic chemotherapy (Jantet, 1962;Schwartz, Greenlaw, Rob and Rubin, 1962;Ariel and Resnick, 1964) an investigation was carried out to determine whether access to the tumour via the lymphatic system was superior to the arterial approach, but once again an uneven uptake of dye was observed.…”
