Prediction of vertebral fractures in cancer patients undergoing hormone deprivation therapies: Reliability of WHO fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) and bone mineral density in real-life clinical practice

Prediction of vertebral fractures in cancer patients undergoing hormone deprivation therapies: Reliability of WHO fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) and bone mineral density in real-life clinical practice

Background and Objective: Prediction of fractures in cancer survivors exposed to hormone-deprivation therapies (HDTs) is a challenge since bone loss is rapid and severe, and determinants of fractures in this setting are still largely unknown. In this study we investigated reliability of the WHO Frac...
