Summary 60 patients with carcinoma of the prostate of all clinical stages were investigated by lymphography. Positive lymphographic findings were present in about 50% of the cases. The more advanced tumours were found to metastasise more frequently. Lymphography is indispensable to select patients with clinically limited disease to the prostate for radical prostatectomy. The anatomical display of the iliac and aortic lymph nodes on the lymphogram facilitates the selection of the portal fields in external beam megavoltage radiotherapy.
