✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

When skeletal metastasis is the presenting problem and the primary site is occult, there is a need to identify the primary site as soon as possible.

However, the search for the primary tumor is often time-consuming and difficult.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the efficacy of particular diagnostic approaches and to devise an efficient and optimal diagnostic strategy.

METHODS.

Among 213 patients with skeletal metastasis treated between 1990 and 1996 were 64 in whom skeletal lesions were the first manifestation of malignancy.

The authors retrospectively analyzed both the final diagnosis and the process by which it was made in these 64 cases.

The KAI1 gene, isolated from human chromosome 11p11.2, has been implicated as a prostate cancer metastasis suppressor gene. Recent studies have demonstrated that the expression of KAI1 protein is reduced in metastases of human prostate cancers and is inversely correlated with tumour grade. The objec
