  • Title: [Skeletal scintigraphy for the observation of course and treatment of carcinoma of the prostate ].
    Author: Pabst HW, Langhammer H, Schmid L, Sintermann R.
    Journal: Rofo; 1981 Jul; 135(1):44-9. PubMed ID: 6288532.
    Abstract:
    Serial skeletal scintigraphy was carried out on 259 patients with carcinoma of the prostate; 5-10% developed bone metastases each year. Isotope uptake was measured in 79 patients receiving treatment; in 60.6% (48 patients) there was a reduction or disappearance of the areas of uptake, in 16.6% (13 patients) they were stationary and 22.8% (18 patients) the metastases progressed. Skeletal scintigraphy is therefore useful during the course of the disease in showing its extent and the effect of treatment.
