Denosumab for the Prevention of Skeletal Complications in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Comparison of Skeletal-Related Events and Symptomatic Skeletal Events

open access: yesAnnals of Oncology, 2015
In a phase III trial in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and bone metastases, denosumab was superior to zoledronic acid in reducing skeletal-related events (SREs; radiation to bone, pathologic fracture, surgery to bone, or spinal cord compression).

Pharmacologic Prevention of Skeletal-Related Events in Cancer Patients

Orthopedics, 2010
Intravenous bisphosphonates are a standard therapeutic option in the prevention of skeletal-related events in metastatic breast and prostate cancer as well as multiple myeloma with bone involvement. Denosumab represents a new class of medications that inhibits the RANK ligand and is currently being evaluated to prevent skeletal-related events.

Managing Bone Metastases and Reducing Skeletal Related Events in Prostate Cancer

Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, 2014
Advanced-stage prostate cancer is associated with skeletal complications related to metastatic disease and its treatment. On the one hand, metastatic disease to bone is commonly associated with skeletal-related events (SREs); on the other hand, treatment with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) leads to loss in bone mineral density (BMD) and increased ...

Costs of Multiple Myeloma and Associated Skeletal-Related Events in the Netherlands

Expert Review of Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research, 2004
Multiple myeloma causes significant skeletal morbidity (e.g., pain and pathologic fractures) resulting from osteolytic lesions, and the associated medical costs can be considerable. Therefore, the authors of this review conducted a retrospective cost analysis to quantify the medical costs associated with skeletal complications in patients treated for ...

Beyond Skeletal-Related Events

European Urology Supplements, 2006
Abstract Objectives Zoledronic acid may have potential antitumor activity; it is the most active agent among the bisphosphonates in blocking the prenylation (activation) of small signaling proteins required for cell function and survival. This presentation discusses the results of preclinical studies evaluating the antitumor activity of zoledronic ...

The Pharmacological Management of Skeletal-Related Events From Metastatic Tumors

Orthopedics, 2009
Bone is one of the most common sites of metastatic disease from cancer, affecting around 400,000 patients each year. Skeletal-related events (SRE) include hypercalcemia, fractures, spinal cord compression or severe bone pain and may occur as a complication of metastasis.

Managing skeletal related events resulting from bone metastases

BMJ, 2008
#### Summary points Pain is one of the most common symptoms managed in a palliative setting, and over half of all metastatic cancers will be associated with pain originating from bone metastases. Breast, lung, and prostate cancers account for about 80% of all bone metastases.1 Management of bone pain is especially important in patients with prostate ...

Update on the Pharmacological Prevention of Skeletal-related Events in Cancer Patients

Orthopedics, 2011
Metastases to the bone are a frequent complication of advanced cancer. Bone metastases have been linked to skeletal-related events, which is the composite endpoint used in clinical trials evaluating therapy to minimize these complications. This article discusses bisphosphonates, which are the historical standard for the prevention of skeletal-related ...
