Program Overview
Program Description
Bone complications can result from bone metastases or cancer treatment. Skeletal-related events (SREs) including fractures, cord compression, and uncontrolled pain are a major cause of suffering and functional impairment in patients with cancer, including various solid tumors and multiple myeloma. Most patients with bone metastases will develop SREs. Bisphosphonates and denosumab have been established as effective agents to reduce skeletal morbidity, but bone-directed therapies are often underutilized. In this interactive eCourse, an expert in cancer-related bone health presents key evidence in support of bone-targeted agents in patients with cancer. In the context of patient cases, he illustrates best practices for identifying the appropriate and optimal use of bone-targeted agents and describes strategies to support patient adherence.
