Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women, and it has the highest incidence rates in western Europe. At breast cancer diagnosis, approximately 5-6% of women present with distant spread with bone, representing the most common site of metastatic lesions. More than half of the women, who present with metastatic breast cancer at the primary diagnosis, will develop bone metastases. We report a clinical case of a 75-year-old woman, with a history of breast cancer who undergone surgery 7 years ago, presenting bone metastases in different areas. We tried to determinate the major areas of pain and then to quantify it with a one-dimensional scale. After that, we analyzed the images of the previous instrumental exams and the centering CT in order to compare them with what the patient reported and then to decide what we should have targeted first. The aim of our work was to try finding a methodology in order to determinate the priority in the selecting of the area to treat to apply in this kind of patients.
乳腺癌是目前女性中最常见的癌症,在西欧发病率最高。在乳腺癌诊断时,约5-6%的女性出现远处骨转移,这是转移病灶最常见的部位。在初次诊断时患有转移性乳腺癌的女性中,超过一半会发生骨转移。我们报告了一例75岁女性的临床病例,该患者有乳腺癌病史,7年前接受过手术,目前在不同部位出现骨转移。我们试图确定主要疼痛区域,然后用一维量表对其进行量化。之后,我们分析了之前影像学检查的图像和定位CT,以便与患者报告的情况进行比较,进而决定首先应该针对的部位。我们工作的目的是尝试找到一种方法,以确定在这类患者中选择治疗区域时的优先顺序。
