Early Detection of Metastases by Bone Scintigraphy in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Xiaohui Wang, Jiangyan Liu, Gang Chen, Yu Li and Yumin Li

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is relatively common worldwide. Until a few years ago skeletal involvement from HCC was rarely diagnosed. Thanks to novel imaging techniques and multidisciplinary treatment approaches, the overall survival in HCC patients has prolonged, and bone involvement has significantly increased currently. This short review summaries the value of bone scintigraphy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
