Why Are Bisphosphonates Important in Cancer Treatment?
In cancer patients, especially those with breast cancer, prostate cancer, or multiple myeloma, the disease often spreads to the bones. This can cause significant bone pain, fractures, and other serious complications. Bisphosphonates help to manage these symptoms by reducing bone turnover and preventing skeletal-related events (SREs) such as fractures, spinal cord compression, and the need for radiation or surgery to bone.
