Abstract:
The aim of the study is to evaluate the prostatic cancer patients metastases by using bone scintigraphy with 99m Tc MDP. The study included 70 prostate cancer patients, where the study was done in RICK and Aniline Medical Center. The data was collected on the following variables: Age, weight, height, grade, stage, primary site, secondary site and PSA level. This study was done by using Gamma camera dual head and radiopharmaceutical (99m Tc MDP). The result of this study reveal that; 68.6% of the patients included in this study have a metastases in vertebral column, which represents the highest percentage among the other site of bones, while 27.1% spread to femur, 22.9 % to shoulder, 12.9 % to ribs and 25.7 % to hip . The common line of treatment for prostatic cancer patients was hormonal and radiotherapy which represent 52.9% and the less common one was hormonal therapy and surgery. There is a relation between PSA and weight and age. PSA and weight i.e. inverse proportionality, PSA age direct proportionality.
