## Background: Although clinical investigations of bone turnover markers in prostate cancer patients have been conducted, the relationships of pretreatment levels of the markers to the prognosis of patients with bone metastasis has not been fully examined. ## Methods: The serum levels of carboxy-
Bone scans or skeletal surveys were obtained in 104 patients with ovarian carcinoma. No metastases were identified at staging in the 43 patients with Stage 1 or I1 disease. Four patients in the entire series had osseous metastases. Three of the 40 patients with Stage 111 epithelial ovarian carcinoma
BACKGROUND. Metastatic prostate cancer clinical evaluation is difficult. A revaluation of new prostate markers with regard to bone scans was performed. METHODS. Serial markers, including bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), total alkaline phosphatase (TAP), prostate-specific antigen, total (PSA) and fre
