TRATTAMENTO DELLE METASTASI LINFOGHIANDOLARI PERIFERICHE NEI TUMORI A SEDE PRIMITIVA IGNOTA

Abstract

The relative frequency of peripheric lymphoglandular metastases from unknown primary malignant lesion is outlined. The survival date for untreated, radiologically and surgically treated patients are comparatively examined. In these patients the clinical course of the disease is characterized more by the increasing of metastases than by the evolution of the primary tumor. A radical surgery of the involved lymphatic ganglion is advised and supported by the exposition of a report of cases with late results.
