[Whole-cycle management norms of bone health in breast cancer]
Abstract:
Bone health management of breast cancer runs through the whole cycle of patient treatment. During the process of adjuvant treatment for early breast cancer, clinicians should be pay attention to the prevention of bone loss caused by treatment. Adjuvant use of bone-modifying agents can help improve the prognosis of some patients, and patients with bone metastases should be given multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment and use bone-modifying agents to prevent the occurrence bone related adverse events. Therefore, no matter for the treatment of early or advanced breast cancer, it is necessary to manage bone health, formulate appropriate treatment strategies, and deal with adverse events of drugs. Good bone health management will help improve the quality of life and survival of patients. The breast cancer expert committee of the National Cancer Quality Control Center organized relevant experts to deeply explore the full cycle management of bone health in breast cancer based on Evidence-based medicine evidence. The risk classification and treatment strategy of cancer treatment-induced bone loss in early breast cancer, the applicable population and benefits of adjuvant treatment of bone modifying drugs, the diagnosis and treatment of bone metastasis in advanced breast cancer, and the treatment of adverse reactions of bone modifying drugs were elaborated in detail. We hope to guide clinicians to better deal with bone health problems in clinical practice by putting forward reasonable suggestions for patients with breast cancer.

Bone Remodeling
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
