What Does This Bone Scan Report Indicate?

I recently had a bone scan and x-ray with these findings:Solitary focus along the right seventh rib laterally. Although not entirely excluded, likelihood of bone metastasis is low in the absence of any other additional foci. X-ray resultsA single view of the chest and multiple views of the ribs were obtained. An area of sclerosis is identified in the right seventh rib. This may represent the area of abnormal uptake on bone scan. Should I be worried about bone cancer?

Hello,
I have studied your report and nothing can be said only on the basis of report. You need to get proper clinical examination and detail investigation. It includes CT abdomen and chest. Also you need to get blood investigations.
After that it can be said with confirmation. If there is cancer in other part of the body than it can migrate to lung,liver and bone.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
