The value of Gleason score and prostate-specific antigen level in predicting the need for a baseline nuclear bone scan in patients with newly diagnosed 84 prostate cancer cases
Abstract:Conference ProceedingAbstract Purpose: The objective of the present study was to correlate the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and Gleason score with the baseline bone scan results in patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer and try to determine a group of patients whose risk of bone metastases is low enough to omit safely this staging modality. Methods: This retrospective study included 84 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (Pca) who underwent a staging bone scan in Nuclear M… Show more
