Bone scintigraphy is often performed to assess the response to systemic therapy of bone metastasis from prostate cancer. We examined the changes in bone scintigraphic findings and the agreement with AIP, AcP, or other tumor markers measured in the follow-up of patients with known bone metastasis after hormonal therapy. Out of 32 patients, 22 (69%) showed improved scintigraphic findings on the first follow-up bone scintigraphy after hormonal therapy. However, 7 out of 22 patients who showed improvement on the first follow-up scintigraphy, deteriorated thereafter. Changes in the scintigraphic findings were closely correlated with those in the measured tumor markers except for patients with small bone metastasis. Though there were no significant differences in the agreement ratios of the 6 tumor markers evaluated, AIP might be a practical and acceptable indicator. Bone X-ray findings did not change at all in almost half of the cases though the scintigraphic findings showed improvement or deterioration.

D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D001842 Bone and Bones A specialized CONNECTIVE TISSUE that is the main constituent of the SKELETON. The principal cellular component of bone is comprised of OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; and OSTEOCLASTS, while FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and hydroxyapatite crystals form the BONE MATRIX.
