A prospective study was conducted on 55 consecutive patients to evaluate the efficacy of gallium scintigraphy in detecting malignancy in any soft tissue mass. It was determined that gallium scintigraphy could detect malignancy with a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 87%. Large and small sarcomas, irrespective of their fascial location, were identifiable by gallium imaging. Occult, nonpulmonary sites of disseminated disease were detected in 13%. Gallium scintigraphy proved to be a reliable predictor of malignancy for all soft tissue masses, but because of its cost, it must be used judiciously.
对55例连续患者进行了一项前瞻性研究，以评估镓闪烁扫描在检测任何软组织肿块恶性肿瘤方面的疗效。结果确定，镓闪烁扫描检测恶性肿瘤的敏感性为96%，特异性为87%。无论筋膜位置如何，大小肉瘤均可通过镓成像识别。13%的患者检测到隐匿性、非肺部的播散性疾病部位。镓闪烁扫描被证明是所有软组织肿块恶性肿瘤的可靠预测指标，但由于其成本，必须谨慎使用。
