Abstract[introduction]Ga-67 scans may be valid to evaluate responses of cancers after radiotherapy. Both positive and negative scans are obtained after irradiation in the patients with pretreatment positive scans; negative scans may indicate disappearance of tumors or good prognosis. However, a few reports provided follow-up data, and value and implications of such reverted scans remain to be defined. To our knowledge, there has been no report concerning histological findings in the patients with reverted scans.

AbstractGa-67シンチグラムで陽性像を得た10例の胸腔内食道癌症例に, 放射線治療後に再スキャンを行った. 原発巣のGa-67の取り込みは9例において消失した. 放射線治療後の組織学的検索では9例中4例に生存可能癌細胞の消失をみた. Ga-67の取り込みが消失しなかった1例を含め9例が食道癌のために数か月内に死亡した. Ga-67スキャンを放射線治療後に再施行して, 放射線の効果を判定しようという試みは益が少ないと思われる.
