Abstract
One hundred patients with histologically proven carcinoma of the prostate were examined by radionuclide bone scintigraphy and bipedal lymphography. In 27 cases the bone scintigram and lymphogram were positive, in 16 the bone scintigram only was positive and in 10 the lymphogram only was positive. Although radionuclide bone scintigraphy is the most useful single investigation for detecting metastatic spread from prostatic carcinoma, lymphography should be performed if the bone scintigram is negative, as it is likely to demonstrate nodal metastases in 18% of patients.
