We performed a retrospective study of sixty patients who had a soft-tissue sarcoma of the extremity to determine the usefulness of scintigraphy with gallium-67 citrate as a staging modality. Abnormal activity of the gallium was present in forty-one of forty-eight sites in which there was macroscopic primary tumor. In six of the forty-eight patients, the imaging demonstrated non-pulmonary metastases that had not been detected by any other staging studies. Scintigraphy with gallium-67 citrate should be employed routinely for staging of soft-tissue sarcomas because of its utility in detecting non-pulmonary metastases that are not otherwise detected on routine staging studies.
我们对60例患有肢体软组织肉瘤的患者进行了一项回顾性研究，以确定枸橼酸镓-67闪烁显像作为一种分期方法的实用性。在48个存在肉眼可见原发肿瘤的部位中，有41个部位镓摄取异常。在48例患者中，有6例的显像显示出其他分期检查未发现的非肺转移灶。由于枸橼酸镓-67闪烁显像在检测常规分期检查未发现的非肺转移灶方面具有实用性，因此应将其常规用于软组织肉瘤的分期。
