Article Synopsis
- Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare condition that causes low phosphate levels due to certain tumors, which can be cured if the tumor is completely removed.
- A case study of a 35-year-old man showed that the tumor was initially undetectable on a standard CT scan but was later found using advanced imaging (Ga-68 DOTANOC PET/CT).
- After trying a traditional method unsuccessfully, the team performed a less-invasive procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA) guided by real-time imaging, which resulted in the patient achieving full remission.
