Several disorders of increased bone turnover and low bone mineral density (BMD) are associated with severe pain that is refractory to treatment with conventional and even opioid analgesics. Because of their ability to effectively improve the underlying pathogenesis of these disorders (i.e., reduce bone resorption and increase BMD), bisphosphonates are considered part of the palliative care of m...
متن کاملBisphosphonates and metastatic bone disease.
Malignant bone disease is a frequent complication of several common solid tumours including breast, lung, prostate and renal cancer. A greater understanding of tropic bone tumour cells, especially the understanding of those properties which lead to their successful growth within the bone microenvironment is the first step to devise innovative approaches. Bone metastases are generally characteri...
