Abstract
Introduction: Systemic staging for metastatic disease in newly diagnosed breast cancer is controversial; the detection yields is variable according to cancer stage and there is no consensus on which and how (CT +/- bone scan) patients should be staged. In two breast units in the West of Scotland, we routinely use CT (thorax, abdomen, pelvis) and isotope bone scan to stage women with ‘high risk’ cancers.
