Abstract

Because the results with cobalt 57 bleomycin (⁵⁷Co bleo) as a tumour seeking agent in patients with pulmonary tumours were promising, a prospective study was carried out to test the sensitivity and selectivity of this technique for metastases in lung hila and mediastinum in a group of patients with bronchial cancer. The sensitivity of ⁵⁷Co bleo scintigraphy appeared to be higher than that of routine radiological investigations and mediastinoscopy. For this reason it is suggested that ⁵⁷Co bleo scintigraphy can be used as a method to select patients for mediastinoscopy.
