“…(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) Generally, these can be divided into two types: (1) antiresorptive treatments such as bisphosphonates (1,2,4,6,7) that bring about a prompt decrease in biochemical markers of bone resorption followed a few months later by a reduction in bone formation markers (9) and (2) anabolic agents (currently only parathyroid hormone) (5,10) that bring about a prompt increase in bone formation followed a few weeks later by an increase in bone resorption. (11) Many modern treatments for osteoporosis have a profound effect on bone remodeling, and studies of bone turnover have an important role in the evaluation of their effect on bone quality.…”

“…Compared with tamoxifen, toremifene is more oestrogen antagonistic than agonistic in rat (Di Salle et al, 1990). At present, no data are available on the effect of toremifene on bone.Since bisphosphonates prevent post-menopausal bone loss (Chesnut 1984; Reginster et al, 1989;Storm et al, 1990;Watts et al, 1990;Giannini et al, 1993;Harris et al, 1993;Reid et al, 1994;Filipponi et al, 1995;Liberman et al, 1995) and in advanced breast cancer reduced the development of new bone metastases (Elomaa et al, 1983;Martoni et al, 1991;Paterson et al, 1993;Van Holten Verzantvoort et al, 1993), they are attractive candidates for the treatment of patients with early breast cancer. We performed a prospective, open, randomized study to determine the effect of oral clodronate in post-menopausal women with primary breast cancer treated with adjuvant antioestrogens, Received 24 July 1996 Revised 10 October 1996 Accepted 15 October 1996 Correspondence to: Elomaa, Department of Oncology, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Haartmaninkatu 4, FIN-00290 Helsinki, Finland tamoxifen or toremifene.…”

“…It substantially reduced the long-term risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures (Black et al, 1996;Liberman & Weiss, 1995). Therefore, we considered that this agent would be useful for the treatment of bone loss in AN patients because only 2 weeks of administration is reported to prevent bone absorption for 3 months in women with PMO (Storm, Thamsborg, Steiniche, Genant, & Sorensen, 1990). We hypothesized that etidronate may be effective in increasing bone formation and preventing bone resorption and fractures in AN.…”
