Sommario
L’osteoporosi e le fratture da fragilità scheletrica rappresentano importanti comorbidità nei pazienti con carcinoma differenziato della tiroide (DTC), con potenziale impatto negativo sulla qualità di vita e sulla sopravvivenza. La terapia TSH-soppressiva rappresenta il principale determinante della fragilità scheletrica nei pazienti con DTC, favorendo il riassorbimento osseo e il deterioramento della microstruttura ossea. Tale effetto negativo può essere amplificato in presenza di metastasi ossee che incrementano ulteriormente il rischio di fratture. L’inquadramento e la gestione della fragilità scheletrica nel DTC sono ancora controverse e i dati sull’efficacia dei farmaci osteo-attivi in questo contesto clinico sono scarsi.
