Bone, lung, and liver were the most common metastatic organs. Patients with brain metastasis had significantly worse overall survival (P = .007) and cancer-specific survival (P = .0013). Among all patients, 105 (56.45%) underwent PTR, and this group showed reduced overall mortality and cancer-specific mortality (all P &amp;lt; .05). When analyzing different metastatic patterns, PTR significantly lowered the risk of overall mortality and cancer-specific mortality for patients with bone, lung, liver, or distant lymph node involvement (all P &amp;lt; .05). Additionally, among patients with 1 or 2 metastases, those undergoing surgical resection were significantly associated with favorable overall survival (P = .008) and cancer-specific survival (P = .0247).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>PTR may confer therapeutic benefits for carefully selected individuals with metastatic MTCs.
