[Radical surgical treatment for bone metastasis from thyroid carcinoma. Report of four cases].
Most patients with thyroid bone metastases have been evaluated in accordance with other sites of disease. Overall survival is impacted and the results with surgery, radiation therapy, or radioactive iodine show variable results. Four cases are presented: three women and one man with an age range of 43-53 years and all with radical surgery. Good local control in three of the patients was observed. All patients had hormonal suppression with levothyroxine. Radical surgery showed an improvement in survival in patients with bone metastases for thyroid carcinoma.
