Bone mineral density changes on androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer and response to antiresorptive therapy

Abstract: Androgen deprivation therapy improves survival of patients with prostate cancer and leads to hypogonadal state. Gonadal hormones are essential for skeletal integrity and hypogonadism constitutes a major risk factor for osteoporosis. To examine the bone loss secondary to androgen deprivation therapy, we reviewed the bone mineral density (BMD) studies of 152 patients with prostate cancer with mean duration of androgen deprivation therapy of 58 months. Among them 55 subjects had follow-up BMD measurement at 12-15… Show more

“…Loss of bone mineral density is a well-known consequence of androgen deprivation therapy in men with prostate cancer [23, 24]. Review of the results of 12 clinical trials was said to have shown that, at the doses commonly recommended, 500–1,000 mg calcium and 200–500 IU vitamin D per day, men undergoing androgen deprivation lose bone mineral density [23].…”

“…However, there are a number of side effects of ADT that negatively impact the health-related quality of life in these men. The side effects of such treatment include osteoporosis, [4,5] increased fracture risk, [6-8] poorer quality of life with decline in physical function, [9,10] fatigue, decline in muscle mass, increased fat mass, weight gain, [11,12] reduced psychosocial and cognitive functions [13,14]. Osteoporosis and physical function decline are of particular concern as these are factors that are closely related to risks of falls and fractures in older men [15-18].…”
