## BACKGROUND. Chest computed tomography (CT) often is used to rule out lung metastases in patients with potentially resectable liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma. In the current study the authors evaluated whether CT of the chest was necessary in patients with a negative chest radiograph.
The independent significance of different tumor factors in 4,514 patients with undifferentiated or non-keratinizing carcinoma of the nasopharynx irradiated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital during 1976-1985 were analyzed retrospectively. Multivariate analyses showed that the most significant primary f
