Fracture-related hospitalisations in newly diagnosed high-risk localised or metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer: secondary analysis of the STAMPEDE phase III trials of docetaxel and zoledronic acid using healthcare systems data

Annals of Oncology | |

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), the mainstay systemic treatment for high risk non-metastatic (M0) and metastatic (M1) prostate cancer is associated with bone loss and increased fracture risk. The STAMPEDE trial tested the addition of zoledronic acid (ZA) ± docetaxel (with prednisolone) to ADT. Both regimens may impact bone health. However, long-term fracture incidence remains uncertain.
