Bone health and treatments
Bone health and treatments is a research topic within Oncology. Science Explorer counts 43k research works in it since 1950. 14.6% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the use of bisphosphonates in the treatment of bone metastases and associated complications, particularly osteonecrosis of the jaw. It explores the mechanisms of action, clinical features, and therapeutic opportunities for bisphosphonates in cancer treatment, with a specific emphasis on prostate and breast cancer. The papers also discuss the role of bisphosphonates in maintaining bone health and preventing skeletal complications in cancer patients.
