Using the results of direct x-ray-radionuclide lymphography in 119 patients with malignant tumors of different sites lymphogenic metastases were diagnosed in 68% of the cases as compared to 52% with the use of radiopaque direct lymphography only and 36.5% of the cases detected on clinical examination. This method made it possible to change in 44 out of 119 patients a stage of the disease to a more advanced one.

Diagnostic findings obtained by means of selective inferior mesentericography, intravenous pelvic phlebography and vaso-vesiculography allows the division of T category to be based on the anatomical principle of the organ and adjacent tissues structure. Lymphography and lymphoscanning render it possible to pinpoint further the category NX, thus differentiating NX, N0, N1, N2.
