CASE REPORT Secondary osteoporosis - a negative influence on the quality of life and survival of prostate cancer patiensCase reports
Prostate cancer patients on antiandrogen therapy are at risk of bone loss, secondary osteoporosis development, pathological fractures and impaired quality of life. There is still very little attention paid to this group of patients. This fact is underlined by the presented case reports. In both cases, long-lasting androgen deprivation therapy led to vertebral compression fractures due to secondary osteo porosis. These fractures had a significant negative influence on the patients' quality of life. Antiosteoporotic therapy had excellent ef fects relieving pain and increasing bone density.
