Abstract:
Objective To analyze the radionuclide bone imaging in 343 primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases and to know the positive ratio and its prognosis. Methods 343 cases with primary NPC were examined by radionuclide bone imaging in order to find if there was bone metastases and analyze in single and multi factors, and then to know its prognosis. Results The positive ratio of 343 NPC cases was 32.9 %, men 37.5%, women 17.7%. There was significant statistic value in sex, age and staging through Binary Logistic Regress analysis. Men, the more advanced staging, the older people, the earlier to metastases.The overall accumulate survival ratio was 1 year 92.1%, 2 year 83.9 %, 3 year 78.8 %. Conclusion Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is easy to metastases. Radionuclide bone imaging should be performed in the patients with NPC because it is important to evaluate the staging and therapy.
