Staging was correct with computerized tomography in 91 per cent of the lesions (21 of 23), with ultrasound in 70 per cent (16 of 23) and with angiography in 61 per cent (14 of 23). Computerized tomography of the abdomen is the optimal technique to stage renal cell carcinoma and to determine adjacent organ invasion, lymph node metastases and venous extension. When computerized tomography is not available ultrasonography provides a useful alternative to angiography in preoperative tumor assessment in many cases. © 1982 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByFrohmüller H, Grups J and Heller V (2018) Comparative Value of Ultrasonography, Computerized Tomography, Angiography and Excretory Urography in the Staging of Renal Cell CarcinomaJournal of Urology, VOL. 138, NO. 3, (482-484), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1987.Richie J, Garnick M, Seltzer S and Bettmann M (2018) Computerized Tomography Scan for Diagnosis and Staging of Renal Cell CarcinomaJournal of Urology, VOL. 129, NO. 6, (1114-1116), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1983.
