Bone scans were obtained in 100 patients with carcinoma of the cervix in order to search for occult skeletal metastases. Scans revealed metastases in 4 patients with advanced stages of disease, but the scans in 79 patients with Stage 0, I, or II disease were negative. The scans in 14 patients showed renal asymmetry; 11 of these had obstructive uropathy due to tumor invasion or radiation therapy. Bone scanning does not seem warranted as a screening test in asymptomatic patients with Stage 0, I, or II carcinoma. If the test is done, renal symmetry should be carefully evaluated.
