Prostate cancer with lytic bone metastases: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography for diagnosis and monitoring response to medical castration therapy

Lytic bone metastases are rare in prostate cancer. We here present 18 fluorine fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) images of a 67-year-old male patient with lytic metastases from prostate cancer. Repeat (18)F-FDG PET-CT done 6 months later showed...

description Lytic bone metastases are rare in prostate cancer. We here present 18 fluorine fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) images of a 67-year-old male patient with lytic metastases from prostate cancer. Repeat (18)F-FDG PET-CT done 6 months later showed response to medical castration therapy. While the role of (18)F-FDG PET-CT for sclerotic bone metastases in prostate cancer remains controversial, it appears to be useful for detection and response assessment of lytic prostate cancer metastases.
