摘要
The ability of regional lymph nodes to take up 99Tcm‐ labelled antimony sulphide colloid from the breast tissue was studied in 50 patients with mammary symptoms by gamma‐camera scanning. Thirteen out of 14 patients with histologically confirmed carcinoma of the breast had a depressed uptake of labelled colloid in ipsilateral nodes, i. e. a positive scan. Twenty‐nine out of 32 patients with benign breast disease had a negative scan. The method promises to aid both the precise diagnosis o breast disease and the definition of the extent of mammary cancer. Copyright © 1978 British Journal of Surgery Society Ltd.
