In this episode, we explore how bone-targeted therapy supports men with advanced prostate cancer by protecting and strengthening bone health when cancer spreads to the skeleton.
You’ll learn:
- What bone-targeted therapy is and how it works in prostate cancer care
- Why is bone health at risk during androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and bone metastasis
- How these therapies reduce pain, lower fracture risk, and support mobility
- The role of VEGF and bone-protective agents in slowing bone damage
- Key types of bone-targeted treatments, including bone-strengthening and signal-blocking therapies
- Who benefits most from starting therapy early, and how long treatment can last
- Common benefits, side effects, and considerations for long-term bone care
Bone-targeted therapy is a vital part of advanced prostate cancer treatment—helping patients stay active, manage pain, and improve quality of life while reducing serious skeletal complications.
