The “Bolen Test” in the diagnosis of neoplasms

  • Published:
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases

Conclusion

We were able to corroborate many of the findings reported by Norman and Slicher. When the Bolen Test is positive repeatedly, especially with large “lake areas,” a malignancy should be looked for diligently. When the Bolen Test is definitely negative, especially on more than one occasion, it is very good evidence (in our limited series) that no recognizable neoplasm is present at that time.
