[Comparative effectiveness of pulmonary scintigraphy and radiography in detecting toxic side-effects of Bleomycin treatment (author's transl)].

Pulmonary toxic effects subsequent to intravenous injections of bleomycin in cancer therapy have well been demonstrated. In order to prevent the acute pathological pulmonary manifestations of the treatment, it is necessary that the patient be submitted to repeated controls of the lungs. As yet, the efficiency of the current diagnostic procedures for detecting the lesions dues to bleomycin injections is not clearly demonstrated.
