Zoledronic acid (ZA), a bisphosphonate, is commonly used in breast cancer patients with bone metastases to treat hypercalcemia and osteolysis. Recent studies showed the anti-cancer effects of ZA in breast cancer. This study further explored the synergistic effects of sequential and nonsequential ZA and doxorubicin (DOX) administration on estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and -negative breast cancer cell lines.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess how effective a gel with active oxygen is in preventing Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) in a rat model.
  • - Twelve rats underwent surgery after receiving a drug (zoledronate) known to cause osteonecrosis and were divided into two groups: one treated with oxygen gel and the other left untreated.
  • - Results showed that the untreated group had more severe MRONJ symptoms, suggesting that the gel may help in preventing this condition, although further research is needed due to the pilot nature of the study.

Article Synopsis
  • - Discontinuing denosumab without another antiresorptive treatment leads to rapid bone loss and higher fracture risks; previous studies on using zoledronate as a follow-up therapy provided mixed results.
  • - The study aimed to assess the effect of zoledronate in preventing bone density loss after stopping denosumab, enrolling postmenopausal participants over 50 who had been on denosumab for at least two years.
  • - Results from 101 patients showed that those who switched to zoledronate (group ZOL) experienced a significant bone mineral density decrease in the lumbar spine compared to those who continued denosumab (group A) in the first year.
