Osteoporotic vertebral body fractures constitute a serious health as well as economic problem. Their early diagnosis enables adequa­ te treatment; cur or stentoplasty). In the diagnosis, cooperation between a radiologist and a clinical specialist and clearly predefined criteria are beneficial. In addition to radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging is also of gr tebral bodies in case of multiple fractures.

In 75 % to 80 % of breast cancer cases, estrogen or progesterone hormone receptors are present, with tumor growth progression influ­ enced by estrogens and regression influenced by ovariectomy, receptor blockers, chemotherapy (inducing primary ovarian failure in premenopausal women) and antihormone therapy with drugs (aromatase inhibitors, LHRH agonists). The above procedures have a potential to decrease bone mineral density, primarily by disrupting the estrogen-osteoblast-bone resorption inhibition axis. Lower estrogen production increases the activity of osteoclasts. Current recommendations for preventing bone mineral density decrease in breast cancer...
