“…Cavography is a compulsory investigation because the right aortic lymph node chain is demonstrated by lymphography in 40 per cent up to or below the level of L3; in 20 per cent up to L2, and only in 11 per cent as high as Ll. The number of right aortic lymph nodes contrast-filled by lymphography is considerably smaller than that of the two other aortic node chains (FUCHS 1969). This is in contrast to anatomic findings, which reveal the right aortic lymph node group comprising the greatest number of nodes.…”

“…The application of strict diagnostic criteria guarantees an accuracy rate of 85 to 90 per cent as has been demonstrated in carcinoma of the uterine cervix (FUCHS & BOOK-HEDERSTROM 1964, FUCHS & SEILER-ROSENBERG 1975. Solitary or multiple well demarcated filling defects of at least 10 mm diameter are diagnostic when obliteration of the intermediary and marginal sinuses is present.…”

Lymphography was performed in 130 patients with malignant neoplasm of the testes. The patients were treated by irradiation, supplemented by chemotherapy when lymph node metastases were present. The survival rates of the various pathologic subdivisions were analyzed according to the lymphography. The following 5-year survival rates were observed: seminoma: normal lymphography 94%, pathologic lymphography 69%; teratocarcinoma: normal lymphography 86%, pathologic lymphography 14%; embryonal carcinoma: normal lymphography 64%, pathologic lymphography 33%.

Forty dogs were divided into five groups: (A) control, (B) 1000 rads, (C) 2400 rads, (D) 3000 rads and (E) 3600 rads. The medial aspect of one pelvic limb was irradiated through a port measuring 12 × 8 cm. Prior to irradiation and at intervals after, the pelvic limb lymphatics and popliteal lymph node were visualized by an indirect technique of lymphangiography. The afferent and efferent lymphatic vessels in the control and treated animals remained essentially unchanged except in four animals. These four animals, one in the 2400 rad group and three in the 3600 rad group, exhibited rupture of the afferent lymphatic vessels at the junction of irradiated and nonirradiated tissues several months after treatment. All treated animals showed a marked permanent decrease in size of lymph nodes several months after treatment. There was no evidence of lymphatic obstruction in any group. The authors conclude that ionizing irradiation appears to have little effect on lymphatic vessels. As reported previously, the lymph node undergoes fibrosis without obstruction.
