"Positive" bone scan--a contraindication to surgery?

G T Basinger, D L McCullough, A P McLaughlin.   

Abstract

Eleven patients with urologic cancer had an abnormal 99mTc (technetium-99m) bone scan as the sole evidence of metastatic disease. Potentially curative therapy should not be withheld on the basis of a "positive" bone scan if such an area is accessible to selected bone biopsy and proves to be negative for tumor histologically.
