Abstract (english)
OBJECTIVES: Randomized trials involving aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer patients have reported increased osteoporosis risk. Bone loss can be reduced with appropriate life style, vitamin D and calcium supplements, and with bisphosphonate therapy. The aim of this analysis was to investigate adherence to vitamin D and calcium in postmenopausal breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant non-steroidal AIs, and oncologists' adherence to the bone health guidelines. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective study included 438 newly diagnosed patients and those who have already been receiving non-steroidal AIs for up to 3.5 years. Median endocrine therapy duration before recruitment in the study was 10.5 months (interquartile 4.8-26.6). RESULTS: Densitometry was performed on 142 patients (32.4%) before initiation of endocrine therapy, and on additional 38 (8.6%) patients at second study visit. Densitometry was not performed on 258 (59%) patients. Vitamin D and calcium were prescribed to 329/438 (75.1%) patients at some point during the study. Patients who took more than 80% of the prescribed dose were considered adherent. Self-reported adherence was 88.4%. Osteoporosis was diagnosed in 24 patients (5.5%) of the total study population, bearing in mind that 258/438 (59%) patients did not have densitometry. Bisphosphonates were prescribed to 54/438 (12.3%) patients, whilst only 19 (35.2%) of those had osteoporosis. CONCLUSION: In this analysis, lack of oncologists' adherence to the bone health guidelines was observed. In addition, a significant proportion of the patients did not adhere to the vitamin D and calcium.
