OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical and pathologic characteristics of patients with bone metastases identified at the time of newly diagnosed prostate carcinoma at biopsy. METHODS: From November 2002 to May 2004, 1587 consecutive patients had a pathologic diagnosis of prostate cancer and underwent conventional technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy of the entire body. The clinical and pathologic features of those patients with positive bone scan findings (group 1) were compared with those of a subcohort of 372 patients with negative bone scan findings performed at the same nuclear medicine department (group 2). RESULTS: A retrospective complete data collection was available for 1242 of 1587 patients. Bone metastases were found in 31 patients (2.5%). As expected, patients with skeletal metastases had a significantly greater mean serum total prostate-specific antigen level, and a Gleason sum of 8 or 9 was significantly more frequent in the pathologic findings of these subjects. Group 1 patients had a significantly greater prevalence of previous nonprostate primary neoplasms (chi-square 12.74, df = 1, P = 0.0004) and reported a greater prevalence of current use of H2 blockers for the treatment and prevention of gastroesophageal reflux disorders (chi-square 37.52, df = 1, P < 0.0001) than did group 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our data have confirmed that bone metastases are more frequent in patients with high prostate-specific antigen levels and poorly differentiated tumors at biopsy regardless of the patient's age. A history of previous nonprostate primary neoplasms and the use of H2 blockers seemed to be more prevalent in those patients with bone metastases at diagnosis.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical and pathologic characteristics of patients with bone metastases identified at the time of newly diagnosed prostate carcinoma at biopsy. METHODS: From November 2002 to May 2004, 1587 consecutive patients had a pathologic diagnosis of prostate cancer and underwent conventional technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy of the entire body. The clinical and pathologic features of those patients with positive bone scan findings (group 1) were compared with those of a subcohort of 372 patients with negative bone scan findings performed at the same nuclear medicine department (group 2). RESULTS: A retrospective complete data collection was available for 1242 of 1587 patients. Bone metastases were found in 31 patients (2.5%). As expected, patients with skeletal metastases had a significantly greater mean serum total prostate-specific antigen level, and a Gleason sum of 8 or 9 was significantly more frequent in the pathologic findings of these subjects. Group 1 patients had a significantly greater prevalence of previous nonprostate primary neoplasms (chi-square 12.74, df = 1, P = 0.0004) and reported a greater prevalence of current use of H2 blockers for the treatment and prevention of gastroesophageal reflux disorders (chi-square 37.52, df = 1, P < 0.0001) than did group 2 patients.
