Sažetak
An association was found between elevated values ​​of the tumor marker CA-15-3 and a positive bone scintigraphy finding in patients with breast cancer and bone metastases. In solitary or few metastases, there was no correlation in the findings, bone scintigraphy was more sensitive, and an elevated tumor marker value with high certainty indicated metastatic disease, but not necessarily in the skeleton.
