Abstract
Discrepant reports on the utility of gallium scanning in the preoperative evaluation of patients with lung cancer prompted a prospective study of the test. The authors studied 47 patients with lung cancer who underwent preoperative gallium scanning and frontal tomography of the mediastinum.

Both test may help direct surgical planning in patients with known squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
