Mid and long-term overall survival after carcinologic resections of thyroid cancer bone metastases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bone metastases in thyroid cancer impair the patient's quality of life and prognosis. Interestingly, wide margins resection as the surgical treatment of bone metastases might improve the overall survival (OS). Nonetheless, data are lacking regarding the potential benefits of this strategy.

Methods

In order to assess the OS of patients with thyroid cancer after a bone metastases carcinologic resection, a retrospective multicentric study was performed, evaluating the 1, 5, 10 and 15 years-OS along with the potential prognosis associated factors.

Results

40 patients have been included in this multicentric study, with a mean follow-up after surgery of 46.6 ± 58 months. We observed 25 (62.5%) unimestastatic patients and 15 multimetastatic patients (37.5%). The m
