Emerging drugs for the management of cancer treatment induced bone loss; Expert Opinion on Emerging Drugs



Take home message: The very high rate of bone loss and the high incidence of fractures indicate that cancer patients at risk of CTIBL (cancer treatment induced bone loss) need to be carefully monitored and stratified for fracture risk.
