Abstract
Intraperitoneal scintigraphy with Tc-99m MAA was performed in nine pat ients with carcinomatous peritonitis secondary to ovarian or tubal car cinoma. Tc-99m MAA (370 MBq) and NaCl was delivered through an implant able injection port. For patients with good diffusion on intraperitone al scintigraphy, intraperitoneal chemotherapy was effective. However, for patients with only local diffusion, intraperitoneal chemotherapy w as not effective. Intraperitoneal scintigraphy can predict the effecti veness of chemotherapy through the implantable injection port.
