Managing bone mineral density with oral bisphosphonate therapy in women with breast cancer receiving adjuvant aromatase inhibition

Catherine Van Poznak. Breast Cancer Res. 2010.

Abstract

The use of adjuvant aromatase inhibitors is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. The oral bisphosphonate, risedronate--dosed as the US Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment or prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis--appears to mitigate bone loss associated with 2 years of adjuvant anastrozole in women with early-stage breast cancer.
