Hodgkin disease: contributions of chest CT in the initial staging evaluation.
Radiology 1986 September
Chest radiographs and chest computed tomography (CT) scans were compared in 203 patients with newly diagnosed Hodgkin disease. The incidence of positive findings was tabulated from six intrathoracic lymph node groups, lung parenchyma, pericardium, pleura, and chest wall. The discordant cases were assessed to determine impact on clinical management. The CT scans provided additional evidence of disease involvement, ranging from 0% to 15% at each of the designated anatomic sites. Treatment was altered in 9.4% of all patients (19 of 203), including 13.8% (nine of 65) of those undergoing radiation therapy alone and 8.2% (ten of 122) of those undergoing combined-modality treatment. We conclude that routine chest CT examinations are valuable in the clinical management of those patients for whom radiation therapy is planned.
