Incidence of bony secondary at presentation of XXXX in our region.

@entity1 @entity0 @entity75 @entity189 @entity79
Study is conducted to evaluate the incidence of bony secondary and to evaluate the need for routine bone scintigraphy at the time of presentation of @entity0 in this region. Of the total 130 @entity1 evaluated by bone scan, sixty (n = 60, 46.15%) had secondary lesion in bone. Among the 54 preoperative @entity1 , all with positive FNAC, twenty (n = 20, 37.03%) had bony metastases. Of the 76 post-operative @entity1 , forty (n = 40, 52.63%) had secondary @entity79 . @entity75 was seen in only five (n = 5, 8.53%) cases. Rest fifty five (n = 55, 91.67%) had multiple bony secondaries. Most of the postoperative cases (n = 40, 52.63%) were invasive/infiltrative duct cell @entity189 . The very high incidence of bony secondary appears to be due to delayed presentation associated with poor socioeconomic condition, ignorance and also shyness. Bony metastases at the time of presentation suggests poor prognosis. As it can affect therapeutic management of these @entity1 , routine bone scintigraphy at the time of presentation of @entity0 @entity1 to a tertiary label hospital is proposed, against conflicting conclusion by papers in the developed countries.
