Conventional radiograms for assessment of salm-calcitonin therapy for bone metastases from breast carcinoma

The effects of salm-calcitonin on breast cancer osteolytic skeletal metastases have been studied on conventional radiographs. Radiographic criteria for positive response have been defined. It is concluded that radiographs are inadequate for assessing the effects of salm-calcitonin.
