A retrospective analysis was made of 25 patients with breast cancer treated only with chemotherapy in order to determine the predictive value of technetium-99m bone scanning in determining response to chemotherapy. Whole-body scanning demonstrated bone healing in only 3 of 25 patients. However, the presence of stable disease on bone scan correlated with a good prognosis as 12 patients with stable scans had a significantly longer survival time than did the 13 patients who showed progression on scans (17.7 and 7.8 months, respectively P less than 0.01 greater than 0.005, Wilcoxan). Our analysis indicates that bone scans are a relatively crude technique for monitoring response to chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.
对仅接受化疗的25例乳腺癌患者进行回顾性分析,以确定锝-99m骨扫描在判定化疗反应方面的预测价值。全身扫描显示,25例患者中仅有3例出现骨愈合。然而,骨扫描显示病情稳定与预后良好相关,因为12例扫描结果稳定的患者生存时间明显长于13例扫描显示病情进展的患者(分别为17.7个月和7.8个月,Wilcoxan检验,P小于0.01大于0.005)。我们的分析表明,骨扫描是监测乳腺癌患者化疗反应的一种相对粗略的技术。
