title: Antitumor effect of 89Sr for multiple bone metastases of breast cancer: diagnosis by 18F-FDG PET/CT.
abstract: 89Sr is useful for the palliation of painful bone metastasis, but its antitumor activity as a monotherapy has not been shown by 18F-FDG PET. Here, we report a case of a 75-year-old woman with multiple bone metastases of breast cancer in which 18F-FDG PET demonstrated a significant reduction in uptake of 18F-FDG after administration of 89Sr.
