HealthTrust presents…“Management of Bone Health in Oncology Patients”

Cancer is a major risk factor for bone loss and fractures in patients due to the direct effects of cancer cells on the skeleton and to deleterious effects of cancer‐specific therapies on bone cells. Several treatments have emerged in recent years to help manage and conserve
bone health in oncology patients. This program seeks to review these agents in detail by discussing their efficacy and safety as well as reviewing the pathophysiology and risk factors behind cancer and bone health.

Learning Objectives  |  At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Recall the etiology and pathophysiology of bone health complications in oncology patients.
  2. Identify patient and cancer therapy-related risk factors, diagnosis, and clinical presentation for bone complications.
  3. Recognize various pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic options to manage bone complications in cancer patients.
