Bone scans were obtained in 100 patients with carcinoma of the cervix in order to search for occult skeletal metastases. Scans revealed metastases in 4 patients with advanced stages of disease, but the scans in 79 patients with Stage 0, I or II disease were negative. The scans in 14 patients showed renal asymmetry; 11 of these had obstructive uropathy due to tumor invasion or radiation therapy. Bone scanning does not seem warranted as a screening test in asymptomatic patients with Stage 0, I, or II carcinoma. If the test is done, renal symmetry should be carefully evaluated.
对100例宫颈癌患者进行了骨扫描，以寻找隐匿性骨转移。扫描显示4例疾病晚期患者有转移，但79例0期、I期或II期疾病患者的扫描结果为阴性。14例患者的扫描显示肾脏不对称；其中11例因肿瘤侵犯或放射治疗导致梗阻性尿路病。对于无症状的0期、I期或II期癌患者，骨扫描作为筛查检查似乎没有必要。如果进行该检查，应仔细评估肾脏对称性。
