Bisfosfonaty - novye grani aktivnosti

Abstract

The paper shows that bisphosphonates are now an integral part in the complex treatment of bone metastases. Their use reduces a risk for development of fractures, including those with spinal cord compression and hypercalcemia. The additional property of bisphosphonates is their ability to prevent bone mineral density loss during hormonal therapy with tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors. There has been more and more information on the antitumor activity of bisphosphonates, as demonstrated by the ABCSG-12 study of zoledronate used in 1800 patients with early breast cancer. This property of bisphosphonate is also confirmed by the AZURE study in which addition of bisphosphonates to the standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy could increase the frequency of beneficial effects. Addition of bisphosphonates to chemotherapy or hormonal therapy improves the results of treatment and quality of life in cancer patients.
