Breast cancer: Zoledronic acid--more than just a bone drug

Aju Mathew et al. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2014 Oct.

Abstract

Several clinical trials have investigated the antitumour effect of bisphosphonates when used as adjuvant treatment for early stage breast cancer. Among these, the results of the AZURE trial, although negative,highlight the potential benefit of treatment with zoledronic acid in postmenopausal women with high-risk early stage breast cancer.
