Some clinical aspects of antiresorptive treatment in patients with bone metastases
https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2025.92.27
Abstract
The review article discusses some aspects of the use of anti-resorptive therapy to preserve bone microarchitecture and reduce the risk of fractures in patients with bone metastases. The authors conclude that there is currently no alternative to ART for the prevention of bone complications and the management of pain.
