Abstract

A pretherapeutic evaluation of skeletal metastases should be carried out in all patients with proven mammary cancer including early stages. The scintigraphy is more reliable for detecting bone metastases than the conventional roentgenological survey. We recommend to employ complementally skeletall scintigraphy and conventional X-ray survey in the search for bone tumors. Negative scintigraphical results do not require any supplementary research. In case of a pathological scan or skeletal pain, a target roentgneological examination should be carried out to differentiate between benign diseases and neoplatic lesions.
