## Background: Bone scans, widely used for the detection of bone metastases from prostate carcinoma, can neither quantitate metastatic lesions nor detect osteolytic lesions. ## Methods: Serum concentrations of the carboxyterminal propeptide of type i procollagen (picp), the carboxyterminal pyridi
## Objectives: We measured the levels of the pyridinoline crosslinked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) and osteocalcin (OC) in the serum of 12 rachitic and 27 healthy Nigerian children, and compared the performance of these relatively new markers of bone metabolism with establ
BACKGROUND. We investigated whether a new marker of bone turnover, pyridinoline cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), could be useful in the assessment of bone metastasis and in monitoring of the response to treatment in patients with prostate cancer with bone metastasi
