Total and Regional Bone Mass in Metastatic Cancer of the Prostate

Total and regional bone mass and biochemical markers of bone remodeling in metastatic prostate cancer

“…The results of this study confirmed our earlier finding [1] that patients with metastases of stage D prostate cancer have less bone mass than controls of the same age. In this study we found that two biological markers of bone remodeling, alkaline phosphatase and TRAP, correlated negatively with bone mass.…”

“…We recently found a reduction of axial, peripheral (except in head and arms), and total bone mass in stage D prostate cancer [1], and we postulated that the metastases of prostate cancer are more osteolytic than osteoblastic. The hypothesis discussed in our earlier study was the motive for this study.…”

“…As in previous studies [1,15], a full body bone densitometry was carried out in all the men. Studies lasted an average of 21 min and were made in dorsal decubitus and at times far away from food intake.…”

Describing a Nurse Case Manager Intervention to Empower Low-Income Men With Prostate Cancer

“…Bone metastasis can be a painful and debilitating symptom in patients with advanced prostate cancer (Glajchen & Moul, 1996;Heim & Oei, 1993;Revilla et al, 1998;Rico et al, 1996;Sciuto et al, 2002). Additionally, hormone therapy increases the risk of osteoporotic bone fracture (Daniell, 2001;McNamara & Sullivan, 1995;Smith et al, 2001;Townsend, Sanders, Northway, & Graham, 1997).…”

Cambios en la densidad mineral ósea: comparación entre pacientes de cáncer de próstata con o sin metástasis y varones sanos (grupo étnico norteafricano)

“…La conclusión fue que las metástasis comprobadas mediante exploración ósea con 99m Tc MDP eran sobre todo de naturaleza osteoblástica. Nuestros resultados coinciden con los de Chang et al y Rico et al 15,16 . Estos grupos han evaluado la DMO de las columnas lumbares de 30 pacientes con cáncer de próstata, con metástasis en dicha región, y las han comparado con pacientes con cáncer sin metástasis lumbar.…”
