Interferon-α (IFN-α) has shown some activity in neuroendocrine tumors with disease stabilizations. Malignant pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (MPPGLs) have a heterogeneous behavior with a slow progression rate, most of the time and a high frequency of bone metastases. Stabilizing disease and preventing skeletal-related events are two goals to achieve in the management of MPPGLs patients.This retrospective study evaluated a multimodal strategy...

Purpose: Bone metastases (BM) are frequent in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). These patients may present skeletal-related events (SRE), the leading cause of DTC-related morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the clinical features, treatment approaches, and outcomes including overall survival (OS) of DTC patients with BM complicated by SRE and their evolution over time.Methods: 178 consecutive DTC patients harbouring BM were enrolled in this retrospective s...
