The 42 -year -old woman is unknown for low back pain. "The culprit" is actually breast cancer?

Ms. Peng of Loudi always had back pain in the back of her two years ago. Because she was able to endure it, she didn't care too much after taking the medication.

Until the last week, back pain has intensified, and when I went to the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital for treatment, I found that it turned out to be mammary cancer metastasis and caused lumbar bone damage caused by lumbar pain.

Ms. Peng was 42 years old. She had thyroid resection due to thyroid cancer a year ago. This time, she went to the People's Hospital of Hunan Province to see the back pain.

After inspection, the lumbar spine fracture was damaged, and the tumor or infection was suspected, and the biopsy and the lumbar spine PKP (lumbar spine forming) were considered to consider metastatic adenocarcinoma.

The question comes, where is Ms. Peng's lumbar spine metastasis cancer? Is it thyroid cancer?

Due to the follow -up treatment plan, Ms. Peng went to PET/CT scan at the PET Image Center of the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital for PET/CT under the advice of a doctor.

The results of the inspection surprised people. Ms. Peng's right breast has a significantly increased sugar metabolic nodule with a size of 10mm and height indicates the right breast cancer.

The mystery of the metastasis of the lumbar spine metastasis was unbuttoned. In addition to the metastasis of the lumbar spine, the breast cancer was found to be metastasis of the right armpit lymph nodes and pelvic bones.

At present, Ms. Peng has been transferred to surgery and further treatment.

Mao Zhiqun, director of the PET Imaging Center of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, introduced that a considerable part of the cancer metastasis when the patient had symptoms. The whole body PET/CT often quickly found the primary malignant tumor, which provided an extremely important role for the precise diagnosis and treatment of clinical pathology to avoid the precision diagnosis and treatment of clinical pathology. Patients spend more time and money because they do multiple examinations, and even delay the treatment time.

Patients with higher tumor markers can detect and clear the diagnosis as soon as possible through PET/CT's whole body examination, so as to obtain more healing opportunities, and the whole body can find a cancer organs.

PET/CT examination is of great significance for tumor staging. It can directly provide a basis for the selection of clinical treatment methods, and even change the treatment plan.

In addition, PET/CT is also a weapon monitored by various malignant tumors, especially the vicious tumor of the blood system.

Director Mao Zhiqun said that for patients who have found malignant tumors, it is recommended to do PET/CT examination before treatment. It can detect whether the tumor is metastasized, clarified the staging of tumors, and further assessing the effect of tumor treatment. It is of great significance for disease control.

In addition, some patients who have been sick for a long time, patients who need to take medicine for a long time, if the symptoms are worse and thinner, you need to be alert to malignant tumors. PET-CT can be screened if necessary.

Of course, whether the PET-CT examination is applicable, you also need to choose from the professional guidance of the doctor.
