OE EXCLUSIVE
Dr. Adam M. Brufsky discusses the use of adjuvant zoledronic acid to maintain bone mass in postmenopausal breast cancer patients.
Synopsis
602 postmenopausal women receiving adjuvant letrozole were randomized either to upfront zoledronic acid or delayed-start zoledronic acid to determine which method minimizes bone-loss. At 5 years follow-up, upfront zoledronic acid was better at maintaining bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal breast cancer patients than the delayed start technique.
