OBJECTIVE
To investigate the correlation between the utilization of nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures and the mortality of women with breast cancer.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
Based on the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), we studied female breast cancer patients in 2012 who underwent whole-body bone scan, lymphoscintigraphy, or fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) for possibly managing breast cancer metastases. The…

It was revealed that 18F-FDG PET/CT was not a significant risk factor for developing cataracts in oncology patients, and the incidence of cataract formation was not significantly higher among subjects in Group E.

It is indicated that a complete diagnostic work-up to detect metastases is unnecessary in the majority of patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, whereas it may be indicated for specific patient categories such as those with stage III disease.

The findings suggest that breast cancer patients can be divided into two subgroups: first group pT1-3N0-1, with ≤3 involved nodes, and second group p t1- 3N1 with ≥4 involved node, pT4 and pN2 (metastases detection rate 1.46 and 10.68%, respectively).

Whole-body bone SPET/CT scan outperformed WBS in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive value and impacted on patient management, therefore, its use is recommended as a routine procedure in BC patients, even after a negative WBS.

Among patients with limited SLN metastatic breast cancer treated with breast conservation and systemic therapy, the use of SLND alone compared with ALND did not result in inferior survival, and overall survival was the primary end point, with a noninferiority margin of a 1-sided hazard ratio of less than 1.3 indicating thatSLND alone is noninherited.
