However, positron emission tomography with 18F-2- deoxyglucose (FDG- PET) can offer superior spatial resolution and improved specificity. We have attempted to evaluate the usefulness of FDG-PET for detecting bone metastases in renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and to compare FDG-PET results with bone scan findings. Methods: Eighteen patients were selected for this study with biopsy-proven RCC. They were suspected of having bone metastases and were undergoing bone scan and FDG -PET to detect bone metastases. The final diagnoses of bone metastases were established by operative, histopathological findings or clinical follow-up longer than 1 year by additional radiographs or following FDG-PET/ bone scan findings showing progressive and extensive widespread bone lesions. Results: A total of 52 bone lesions including 40 metastatic and 12 benign bone lesions found on either FDG- PET or bone scan were evaluated. FDG-PET could accurately diagnose all 40 metastatic and 12 benign bone lesions. Bone scan could accurately diagnose only 31 metastatic bone lesions. Diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy of FDG-PET were 100% and 100%, respectively, and bone scan were 77.5% and 59.6%, respectively. Conclusions: Our data suggest that FDG- PET has a higher sensitivity and a better accuracy than that of bone scan to detect bone metastases in patients with RCC. |
