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

Study Finds Bisphosphonates Reduce Fracture Risk in Prostate Cancer Patients

Researchers have found 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 that bisphosphonates can be an effective treatment in reducing the risk of fractures in these patients.

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

In a separate note, a different study used the PanEcho model, trained on transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) data from Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS), to analyze echocardiographic videos.

The training data set consisted of 1.2 million echocardiographic videos across 32,265 TTE studies of 24,405 patients, with internal validation performed using a temporally distinct YNHHS cohort.

Author's summary: Bisphosphonates reduce fracture risk in prostate cancer patients on ADT.
