more women with breast cancer treated with a bisphosphonate
September 1998
You'll see more women with breast cancer treated with a bisphosphonate...Aredia (pamidronate), Fosamax (alendronate), etc.
Surprising new research suggests these drugs reduce metastasis to the bone and other organs...and prolong survival.
These drugs seem to inhibit release of growth factors in bone that stimulate tumor growth. Some bisphosphonates also seem to directly promote cell death.
