With : With the history of prostate ca, the lesions at the bones mentioned at the report correspond to infiltration of the tumor (metastasis). The others are benign findings. Your oncologist should direct his therapy with these findings and may order another studies such a nuclear medicine bone scan to assess the extension of the metastatic disease.

D/W oncologist: With a new diagnosis of prostate cancer, he would need to have further eval to the bone -i.e. Bone scan- to see whether those lytic sclerotic lesions on the bones are related to the prostate cancer. If the cancer has spread to the bones there are other treatment options available to help him that would include androgen blockers, vaccine, chemo, as well as zometa or x-geva for the bone itself.
