Marked response was obtained in squamous cell carcinoma components following chemotherapy, but not in adenocarcinoma components. Even multiple malignant lesions of the lung might have a chance to be controlled by a combination of chemotherapy and surgery.

Influence of the Different Primary Cancers and Different Types of Bone Metastasis on the Lesion-based Artificial Neural Network Value Calculated by a Computer-aided Diagnostic System,BONENAVI, on Bone Scintigraphy Images
Objective(s): BONENAVI, a computer-aided diagnostic system, is used in bone scintigraphy. This system provides the artificial neural network (ANN) and bone scan index (BSI) values. ANN is associated with the possibility of bone metastasis, while BSI is related to the amount of bone metastasis.
