The data about the significance of lymphografy vary between 50% and 90%. The histological findings of the lymphnodes by patients with carcinoma of the cervix uteri operated according to the method of Wertheim-Meigs showed that the findings of lymphografy agree in 68% of the cases with the histological ones. An agreement of lymphografy and histological diagnosis however had been demonstrated in 84% of the cases when there was more than a suspect praetherapeutic lymphografical finding. Although the indication of lymphografy as a searching method is reasonably doubtful in early cancer cases this possibility of an exact verification of the extension of the tumour should not be neglected. An exact praetherapeutic exploration about the consistance of the lymphonodes is of great importance of an optimal therapeutic effect. The presented data show that the lymphografy should be applicated by patients with gynaecological carcinoma if there is no contraindication.
