ABSTRACT

Este estudo propõe-se a revisar os aspectos de indicação da cintilografia óssea no estadiamento e acompanhamento dos pacientes com câncer de próstata. Os autores fazem um levantamento da literatura e analisam os critérios de indicação do exame, comparando-o com outras modalidades propedêuticas na avaliação desses pacientes. As aplicações da cintilografia óssea no câncer de próstata são estabelecidas segundo os novos parâmetros descritos na literatura, levando em conta, ainda, a relação custo/benefício.
