Recent advances in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have prolonged patient survival. However, the number of patients with bone metastases identified during follow-up examinations has increased. Tc-99m Sn-N-pyridoxy-5-methyltryptophan (Tc-99m PMT) has been reported to accumulate at a high rate in HCC lesions and bone metastases. In the patient described here, whole-body scintigraphy showed accumulation of DTPA galactosyl human serum albumin (Tc-99m GSA) and Tc-99m PMT in bone metastases from HCC. The authors suggest that asialoglycoprotein receptors may be present in bone metastases from well-differentiated HCC. Tc-99m GSA whole-body imaging can be used to detect bone metastases from HCC and to evaluate hepatic reserve.
肝细胞癌(HCC)治疗方面的最新进展延长了患者的生存期。然而,随访检查中发现的骨转移患者数量有所增加。据报道,锝-99m N-吡哆醛-5-甲基色氨酸(Tc-99m PMT)在HCC病灶和骨转移中大量聚集。在此描述的患者中,全身闪烁显像显示二乙三胺五乙酸半乳糖基人血清白蛋白(Tc-99m GSA)和Tc-99m PMT在HCC骨转移灶中聚集。作者认为,去唾液酸糖蛋白受体可能存在于高分化HCC的骨转移灶中。Tc-99m GSA全身显像可用于检测HCC的骨转移并评估肝储备功能。
