Abstract[Summary] Although an application of the Ga-67 citrate scan to renal cell carcinoma is limited because of the relatively poor gallium uptake by the primary renal tumors, remarkable Ga uptake has been noted in some cases of patients with renal cell carcinoma. This study clarifies the characteristics of Ga uptake by the diseased kidney in relation to the tumor stage and grade, clinical laboratory data and prognosis. A frontal tomographic whole body scan using Ga-67 citrate was performed on 56 patients with renal cell carcinoma successively confirmed by operation and autopsy. Positive Ga uptake by the kidney in 28 patients (50%) correlated well to the clinicopathologically higher grade and stage of the tumor and with abnormal values in prognostic indexes in the blood such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP, α2 globulin, ferritin and copper. Gallium uptake by the pulmonary metastatic lesions was found in 11 out of 17 cases and all cases with positive uptake by the pulmonary metastatic lesions belonged to the Ga positive group. During the follow-up period of 2 to 60 months, 10 patients are alive (7 without tumor, 3 with tumor) and 18 died in the Ga positive group, while in the Ga negative/equivocal groups during the follow-up period of 3 to 41 months, 4 patients died and 24 are alive (20 without tumor, 4 with tumor) . Average 3-year survival rate was 21.0% in the Ga positive group, while 78.8%in the Ga negative/equivocal groups. Thus, since the sensitivity of Ga-67 scan is low but the specificity is high, the positive Ga uptake is indicative of an ominous clinical course and shorter survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma.
