Abstract

Since the mid-1990s, bisphosphonates have become a mainstay of the management of metastatic bone disease from breast, lung, and prostate cancer. They are the primary treatment of hypercalcemia, widely recommended to reduce the pain associated with metastatic disease and are the only class of agents approved to prevent the development of skeletal-related events.
