[Diabetes insipidus and breast carcinoma--the importance of NMR tomography (MRT) in therapy planning].
In patients with advanced breast cancer the incidence of diabetes insipidus is between 0.1% and 0.9%. Satisfactory symptomatic relief can be obtained with Desmopressin-acetate. In the presence of this symptom complex magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can aid in the detection of metastases to the posterior pituitary. By the use of magnetic resonance imaging, the incidence for and implementation of local radiotherapy can be firmly grounded.
