Résumé
Objective To analyze the characteristics of bone marrow metastasis in large intestine carcinomas.Method [WT5”BZ]The systematic bone radionuclide images and clinical feature of pathology in 423 postoperative patients with colorectal carcinomas were analyzed retrospectively.Results Bone marrow metastases was confirmed in 191 cases accounting for 5 5% (191/3 454) of the patients admitted during the same period. 7 5% (146/ 1 934 ) of the rectal cancer cases had bone metastasis, which was significantly higher than that of 2 9%(45/1 520) in colon cancer (? 2=34 3, P 0 05). 108 cases had local metastasis, while 83 cases had systematic multiple metastases.Conclusions Bone marrow metastasis of large intestine carcinoma occurred most often secondary to liver and lung metastases. The bone metastasis in rectal carcinoma is more often than colonic carcinoma.
