Long Term Changes in Bone Mineral Density and Fracture Risk in Patients Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer, With Stratification of Treatment Based on Presenting Values
Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the long term effects of two types of hormonal treatment for advanced prostate cancer (LHRH agonists and the antiandrogen bicalutamide)on the bone mineral density of patients.
Conditions: Osteoporosis.
Primary outcome: Peripheral Forearm bone mineral density.
Enrollment: 618 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 618 participants or records.
