Objective:
This study aimed to gather and assess the most reliable evidence on bone health management in patients undergoing endocrine therapy for prostate cancer, with the goal of informing clinical practice.
Design And Methods:
Utilizing the '6S' evidence model, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across various sources such as computerized decision support systems, national and international guideline networks, society websites, and databases encompassing clinical decision-making, guidelines, systematic reviews, evidence summaries, and expert consensus. The search spanned from April 2014 to April 2024, with two researchers independently evaluating the quality of the identified literature.
Results:
A total of 12 articles were included, comprising 6 clinical guidelines, 5 expert consensus papers, and 1 systematic evaluation. The findings were categorized into risk assessment, prevention, and interventions for osteoporosis and fractures, yielding 26 pieces of best evidence.
Conclusion:
This study synthesized key evidence on bone health management for prostate cancer patients undergoing endocrine therapy, emphasizing the importance of healthcare professionals utilizing this evidence to develop and implement effective bone health management strategies to mitigate the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

01:17Hormones and Bone Tissue
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...

01:29Bone 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...

Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

01:25Role 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...
