Introduction: Bone metastases (BM) are rare in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). They determine the quality of life and survival of these patients. Our objective was to evaluate the characteristics, survival and prognostic factors of a cohort of patients with BM from CDT.Methods: Retrospective descriptive study. Patients with BM from DTC diagnosed between 1980-2021 were included. Qualitative variables are shown as n(%); quantitative variables as media...
