[Detection of the cutaneous melanomas, their metastasis and relapses by scintigraphies with 99MTC-HMPAO]. Revista espanola de medicina nuclear, 2002, Volume: 21, Issue:1 A pilot study was carried out in the Nuclear Medicine Department of the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology to learn the diagnostic efficacy of the 99mTc-HMPAO scintigraphy in the detection of cutaneous melanoma, distant and local metastases, in patients with a confirmed histological diagnosis. The planar and/or SPECT scintigraphy was performed in 17 patients and revealed 90% sensitivity for the detection of the disease. We calculated the tumor/background index in all the images obtained and found a value greater than 1 in every case. Thus, we can affirm that the 99mTc-HMPAO accumulation in tumors was higher than the background in all cases. We recommend that this procedure be considered in the follow up of these patients as a new diagnostic method which is very useful in the determination of the patient stage and prognostic evaluation. Topics: Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; False Negative Reactions; False Positive Reactions; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Male; Melanoma; Middle Aged; Neoplasm Metastasis; Neoplasm Recurrence, Local; Pilot Projects; Radiopharmaceuticals; Sensitivity and Specificity; Skin Neoplasms; Technetium Tc 99m Exametazime; Tomography, Emission-Computed, Single-Photon	2002
[Radionuclide study of cutaneous melanomas with 99m Tc-HMPAO: visualization of metastases and recurrence]. Revista espanola de medicina nuclear, 1999, Volume: 18, Issue:1 Malignant cutaneous melanoma (MCM) is a very aggressive disease that becomes in a true problem of health because of the increase in the last 5 years. In the present paper, authors report the detection of the tumor, metastases and recurrences mean 99mTc HMPAO. We presented 5 cases of MCM patients and observed the radiopharmaceutical uptake in skin, nodules and recurrent tumor lesions. Because of the number of patients was limited, authors recommended the research with a lot of patients. The gammagraphic studies could be very important for the staging of the disease and early detection of metastases and recurrent lesions. Topics: Bone Neoplasms; Brain Neoplasms; Evaluation Studies as Topic; Female; Humans; Lymphatic Metastasis; Male; Melanoma; Middle Aged; Neoplasm Metastasis; Neoplasm Recurrence, Local; Pelvic Bones; Radionuclide Imaging; Skin Neoplasms; Technetium Tc 99m Exametazime; Technetium Tc 99m Pyrophosphate	1999

Malignant cutaneous melanoma (MCM) is a very aggressive disease that becomes in a true problem of health because of the increase in the last 5 years. In the present paper, authors report the detection of the tumor, metastases and recurrences mean 99mTc HMPAO. We presented 5 cases of MCM patients and observed the radiopharmaceutical uptake in skin, nodules and recurrent tumor lesions. Because of the number of patients was limited, authors recommended the research with a lot of patients. The gammagraphic studies could be very important for the staging of the disease and early detection of metastases and recurrent lesions.
