Bisphosphonates Reduce Fracture Risk in Prostate Cancer Patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy, suggests study

Bisphosphonates Reduce Fracture Risk in Prostate Cancer Patients

Researchers have found in a large randomized trial that men with metastatic prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) had a significantly lower risk of fractures when treated with a bisphosphonate alongside standard of care (SOC).

The study, published in the Annals of Oncology journal, suggests the benefits of bisphosphonates in reducing fracture risk.

Men with metastatic prostate cancer receiving ADT had a significantly lower risk of fractures when treated with a bisphosphonate alongside standard of care.

In a separate note, a model called PanEcho was trained on transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) data from Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS) between January 2016 and June 2022, but it is not directly related to the study on bisphosphonates.
