Flare phenomenon visualized by 99mTc-bone scintigraphy has prognostic value for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

ConclusionFavorable prognosis, with fewer disturbances from other factors such as the use of abiraterone or/and enzalutamide, PSA changes, and BSI, was attainable in cases when the mCRPC patient demonstrated flare phenomenon. Follow-up bone scintigraphy at least every 3  months could help to determine the prognosis of patients with bone metastasis of mCRPC.
