Abstract

The majority of patients with advanced prostate cancer (PC) develop bone metastases that can result in skeletal-related events (SREs) including pathologic fracture, spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and radiotherapy or surgery to bone. Zoledronic acid has demonstrated efficacy in reducing and delaying SREs in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC). Bone metastases in patients with recurrent PC are now often diagnosed earlier in the course of disease progression, often before the onset of SREs or bone pain.
