[Staging of bronchogenic cancer. Determination of mediastinal lymphatic involvement using magnetic resonance].

Twenty-five patients with bronchogenic carcinoma were prospectively studied by both CT and MR during 10 days preceding thoracotomy. MR scans included contiguous axial and coronal slices. Results of CT and MR studies were compared with the surgical and pathological findings. Although no significant difference was found between the two imaging methods for the evaluation of mediastinal nodes. MR appear to be superior to CT in the aortopulmonary and subcarinal node areas.

Preliminary observations on lung cancer therapy by interstitial irradiation with iodine 125.

Interstitial implantation of I125 by thoracotomy represents a further therapeutic procedure for lung cancer. Two cases recently treated by this procedure are reported. The first case concerns a right apical carcinoma of the lung where interstitial implantation of I125 seeds was carried out in the unresectable apical neoplastic residue, after superior lobectomy. The second case concerns a smaller tumor unresectable due to the severely impaired respiratory function. Main indications to the procedure are reported.
