Techniques for tumor localization.
Modern radiotherapy requires reliable knowledge of the site of the tumor, of its extent and of its relation to adjacent tissues and organs. It is sometimes difficult to obtain such information on deep-seated tumors. This implies a risk of inadequate dosage. Various techniques are available for locating tumors, viz., angiography, lymphography, hysterography and various scanning methods. Examples of the value of each technique in demonstrating the site and extent of tumors are given.
