Summary
Gastric cancer rarely metastasizes to bone marrow, leading to a poor prognosis. 18F FDG PET/CT effectively detected bone marrow metastasis in a gastric adenocarcinoma patient, even without bone destruction signs on CT.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Nuclear Medicine
- Radiology
Background:
- Gastric cancer is a common malignancy globally.
- Bone marrow metastasis from gastric cancer is rare and has a poor prognosis.
- Clinical signs of bone marrow metastasis are nonspecific, necessitating accurate diagnostic tools.
