Is there a connection between bone density drugs and cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As a treatment: This group of drugs is used to stabilize the bone to reduce cancer related injury to bone. They are used in solid tumors and in myeloma. They reduce bone fractures and other complications. These drugs also are used to reduce the elevated calcium that occurs in some cancer patients.
