Bone health on aromatase inhibitors, ovarian suppression and androgen deprivation therapy Some hormone treatments for breast and prostate cancer thin the bones and raise the chance of a fracture. When you start an aromatase inhibitor or treatment that stops the ovaries working, a bone density scan is offered; on prostate hormone therapy your fracture risk may be checked. Exercise, a good diet and not smoking help, and bone-strengthening medicine is offered if the bones are thin. | Breast cancer, Prostate cancer | none | protocol, survivorship | ||
Dental assessment before bone-modifying agents and jaw osteonecrosis prevention Medicines that strengthen bone in cancer, such as zoledronic acid and denosumab, can rarely cause a patch of jawbone to break down, usually after a tooth is taken out. Before you start, see a dentist so any problem teeth can be treated first, keep your mouth very clean, and tell your dentist about the medicine. Report any jaw pain, loose teeth or exposed bone in the mouth. | none | none | protocol, oral-care, supportive-care |
