Denosumab for bone health in prostate and breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy? A systematic review and a meta-analysis of randomized t…
2019
Highlights • Hormonal receptors positive breast tumor and prostate cancer are managed with endocrine therapies. • Endocrine therapies designed for breast and prostate cancer are often associated to serious adverse skeletal related events, such fractures. • Denosumab is a monoclonal anti-body binding RANKL which acts as inhibitor of osteoclasts activity, thus increasing bone mass. • Denosumab was showed to strongly prevent hormonal therapies-related skeletal issues. • Denosumab administration results safe in bone mass increase and reduction of fractures risk.

IL RANK LIGANDO QUALE TARGET TERAPEUTICO NEL TRATTAMENTO DELLE PAZIENTI ANZIANE CON OSTEOPOROSI
2013
Cortical and trabecular bone undergo a continuous and balanced remodeling process, which consists of a phase of resorption, mediated by osteoclasts, and a phase of neoformation mediated by osteoblasts. The activity of both, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, is regulated by the osteocytes, which are the most abundant cells in bone tissue. An imbalance of this process with an excessive resorption activity causes a loss of bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of the skeleton, with consequent reduction of bone strength and increased risk of fractures. The ligand for the “Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa- B” (RANK-L), a protein expressed by osteoblasts, plays a fundamental role in…
