TODO - Objective TSH suppression therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has been associated with adverse effects on areal bone mineral density (aBMD) only in postmenopausal women. The purpose of study was to examine the effect of TSH suppression therapy on skeletal integrity using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at the radius and tibia in pre- and postmenopausal women with DTC and controls. Study design and patients Subjects included 80 women with DTC (40 pre- and 40 postmenopausal) and 89 (29 and 60, respectively) controls. pQCT was performed at the radius and tibia, Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the hip and lumbar spine, while samples were taken for calciotropic hormones and bone markers. Results No differences were observed concerning aBMD by DXA. In premenopausal women, there were no significant differences concerning vBMD, while cortical thickness was higher at the radius in patients with DTC (P < 0·01) compared with controls. In postmenopausal women with DTC trabecular bone mineral content (BMC), area and vBMD were lower at the radius (all P < 0·05), while at the tibia trabecular BMC and vBMD were lower at the mixed transition zone (14% from the distal end, P < 0·05) compared with controls. Cortical thickness was lower at the radius (P < 0·01) in postmenopausal patients compared with controls. Serum CTX was higher in postmenopausal women with DCT (P < 0·01), while in premenopausal patients, parathyroid hormone (PTH) was lower (P = 0·01) compared with controls. Conclusions TSH suppression therapy is associated with higher bone resorption only in postmenopausal women; this adversely affects trabecular and cortical bone properties especially at nonweight-bearing sites such as the radius. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
