An assessment of the value of spleen scanning in the staging of Hodgkin's disease

PJ Ell, KE Britton, G Farrer-Brown, DH Keeling, AM Jelliffe and TP Wood

The value of non-invasive spleen scanning with 51Cr-chromate heat damaged red cells has been assessed in 68 patients with histologically proved Hodgkin's disease in whom pre-treatment laparotomy with splenectomy was performed. The scans were reported independently by two observers. Following this, the uptake pattern of the radioactive tracer and size of organ on the scan were compared with the post-operative weight and pathology of the spleen. From these results it is concluded that this method of spleen scanning is an unreliable technique in staging Hodgkin's disease.
