The Use of Pelvic Arteriography in Assessing Carcinoma of the Cervix

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Greenville Hospital System, Greenville, South Carolina, and the Departments of Therapeutic Radiology and Radiology at Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Shreveport, Louisiana

Abstract

Twenty-nine patients underwent pelvic arteriography as a part of their pre-radical-hysterectomy evaluation for cervical carcinoma. False-positive studies were as common as false-negative studies, not only in the assessment of tumor extension locally, but also in determining the presence of pelvic lymph node involvement. Twenty-one patients underwent preoperative irradiation, but the lack of correlation was similar in 8 patients who were treated by primary radical surgery a few days after arteriography. The clinical estimate of tumor extension corresponded more closely to the pathologic findings than pelvic arteriography.
