case_images: Bone metastases and PSA responses after receiving maintenance long-term multiple cycles docetaxel chemotherapy in patient 1. (A) After the 7th cycle, bone ECT showed significant remission of bone metastasis in patient 1. (i) Baseline of docetaxel administration, (ii) after 7 cycles of docetaxel administration. (B) The curve of PSA changes and chemotherapy cycles in patient 1. The patient received maintenance docetaxel chemotherapy for a total of 33 cycles. During the treatment, the PSA level of the patient was monitored regularly.

case_images: By the 7th cycle, a review of his bone ECT (Figure 1A) revealed that the patients' multiple bone metastases were still stable and the patients' PSA level was 49ng/mL. By the 28th cycle, the patients' PSA level was 0.5 ng/mL (Figure 1B) and imaging examination showed significant remission.
