European Spine Journal, 06/22/09
Iizuka Y et al. - A laboratory analysis limited to specific tumor markers such as PSA and protein electrophoresis is considered to be useful in making a final diagnosis. Chest, abdominal and pelvic CT is considered to be useful for making a final diagnosis in solid tumors, but not for hematologic tumors. A CT-guided biopsy had a low determination rate in the final diagnosis in comparison to a laboratory analysis and CT scanning for solid tumors and it is not considered to be essential for the diagnosis of hematologic tumors.
