pituitary gland metastasis was seen in elderly patients, and the incidence of pituitary metastasis is 1% to 4% of all cancer patients. renal cell carcinoma is a primary malignancy in only 2.6% of pituitary metastases. we reported a 50-year-old man with pituitary metastasis from renal cell carcinoma that had signs of diabetes insipidus. he had multiple lesions in both lungs, and bone scan involv...

OBJECTIVE To determine the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detection of bone marrow (BM) metastasis in breast cancer which is considered an early stage of bone metastasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospectively, breast cancer patients with bone metastasis were included. BM metastasis was considered if the lesion was PET positive/CT occult while bone metastasis was considered if the lesion was PET po...

OBJECTIVE To detect and analyze 13 cytokines that may be related to bone metastasis in the serum of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with bone metastases and NSCLC patients with non-bone metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS The Luminex LiquiChip system was used to detect the concentration of 13 cytokines that may be related to bone metastasis in the serum of 30 NSCLC patients with bone...

Skeletal metastasis from primary hepatocellular carcinoma is rare ranging from 03 to 20% and is mostly seen in autopsy cases. Patients presenting with symptoms of bone metastasis are still rarer. Only a few cases of metastasis to bone from hepatocellular carcinoma have been reported as per literature review. Other cancers like breast, prostate, and lung carcinomas show an increased incidence of...

Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is the second most common cancer, following papillary carcinoma. Metastasis to orbital rim from FTC very rare. We recently experienced a case of with metastasis in 74-year-old woman, who initially presented huge mass and an asymptomatic solitary lesion. The lesion was suspected be separate disease entity such as lymphoma preoperative imaging, but bone finally ...

PURPOSE Radiation therapy is the standard treatment for symptomatic bone metastases. Several randomized control trials and meta-analyses have concluded a similar efficacy in pain relief when comparing single versus multiple fraction regimes. However, there continues to be reluctance to conform to published guidelines that recommend a single treatment for the palliation of painful bone metastase...

: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancy in Chinese women. Up to 80% patients with metastatic breast develop bone metastasis resulting local destruction and skeletal-related events such as pathological fracture spinal cord compression. Skeletal-related pose an enormous impact on patients' motor function quality life. Therefore, prevention treatment objectives metastasis, which often...

Background: To systematically evaluate and analyze the risk factors for breast cancer (BC) with bone metastasis (BM) provide clinical evidence supporting early prevention of BM.

BACKGROUND Breast cancer has been the subject of many recent studies because it is a significant cause of death in women. This study was performed to clarify whether solitary skeletal metastasis has clinical significance compared with multiple skeletal metastasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seven hundred and three patients who developed metastatic bone lesions up to September 2002 after beginning t...
