Abstract
Bisphosphonates have beneficial effects on bone metastases. The bisphosphonates are expected to reduce or prevent the incidence of bone metastases by inhibiting tumor-induced osteoclastic resorption of bone when they are used as an adjuvant treatment of breast cancer. We summarize four abstracts about the adjuvant use of bisphosphonates in breast cancer patients presented in fourtieth ASCO meeting 2004.
