Study Notes
Sclerotic Metastases
- Sclerotic metastases are common in certain cancers.
- Prostate cancer is the most frequent type associated with sclerotic metastases.
- Breast cancer metastases can show both lytic and sclerotic patterns.
- Other cancers linked to sclerotic metastases include Transitional Cell Carcinoma, Lymphoma, and various adenocarcinomas (colon, gastric, ovary).
- Additionally, neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma are also types of tumors that can exhibit sclerotic metastases.
- Carcinoid tumors are another type that may display sclerotic metastases.
