Description

There has been a growing number of prostate cancer patients in our country, and most of the patients suffer with bone metastases. Although more and more new drugs are reported for the treatment of prostate cancer, tumor local recurrence or metastasis occur within the 10 years after treatment. The diagnostic sensitivity of 18F-NaF PET/CT for bone metastases from prostate cancer is high. 18F-NaF PET/CT not only can locate the lesion precisely, evaluate the drug efficacy quantitatively, but also can be used to follow up prostate cancer patients. This review is focused on the application of 18F-NaF PET/CT in bone metastases from prostate cancer. (authors)
