Scatterplots of bone formation markers (A, B and C) and bone resorption markers (D) in different groups of patients. Horizontal lines indicate median values. VS: Visceral metastases. BALP, PINP, N-MID and β-CTx values were higher in BM patients with or without BM than in patients without BM (p<0.05). No differences were found between the BM group with or without BM, and no differences were found between the group A with or without BM.
