Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
The general aim of this study was to characterize bone metastasis from female breast cancer patients by using bone scan, data was collected retrospectively from bone scan images for known case of breast cancers females and were received different types of treatment with age ranged between 25-90 years and the sample size had been about 150 patients whom coming to the nuclear medicine departments in Khartoum state during a period from January 2017 to May 2017, bone scan was be carried out using gamma camera dual heads and the data was interpreted by nuclear medicine specialists and collected from reports and its analyzed by Microsoft office (EXCELL). The breast cancer is commonly affecting the female with age group greater than 40 and less than 60 years old and the age between 55-70 years old is considered as the second age group, ca breast able to attack the left breast more than the right one in the percentage of 50.7% to 49.3% respectively. The carcinoma of the left breast is commonly gives some considerable metastasis to the Lumber vertebrae, dorsal vertebrae, pelvic bone, ribs, cervical vertebrae and the femur bone respectively; the carcinoma of the right breast is commonly gives some considerable metastasis to the Lumber vertebrae, dorsal vertebrae, pelvic bone, cervical vertebrae, the skull and femur bone respectively, the metastasis in the left and right ca breast following the same behavior in popular anatomical region in spiriting but a different percentage of anatomical region invading and the bilateral breast cancer has zero percentage from the total sample size. The researcher recommended to encouraging the annual screening for women breast with low cost or free of charge and should be done for women whom are accused of breast cancer as well as pre and post radiation therapy cycles, also recommended to use another radiological modality to grading and staging of the tumor (CT scan) to represent other organs involvement.
