Az emlőrák – a fejlett országokhoz hasonlóan – hazánkban a nők leggyakoribb rosszindulatú daganata. A sikeres szűrőprogramoknak köszönhetően a felfedezett emlőrákok gyakorisága nő, miközben a szűrésből kiemelt preklinikai esetek nagyobb arányának és a korszerű sebészi és onkológiai terápiának köszönhetően a halálozás csökkenő tendenciát mutat. Az emlődaganatok közel kétharmada hormonreceptor-pozitív, humán epidermális növekedési faktor receptor-2 negatív, azaz jól reagál a hormoncsökkentő terápiára. Az endokrin terápiával kezelt emlőrákos betegeknél – mivel a betegség krónikus jellegűvé vált – számolnunk kell a terápia hosszú távú hatásaival is. A kezelés hatására a csontvesztés üteme felgyorsul, az ásványi csonttömeg csökken, ami a csonttörési kockázat növekedését is okozza. Ez külön jelentőséggel bír a már egyébként is postmenopausában lévő betegeknél, de a fiatal, mesterséges menopausát kiváltott esetében is figyelni kell rá. A jelen összefoglaló közleményben az elmúlt három évtized szakirodalmi adatainak áttekintésével szeretnénk ráirányítani a figyelmet a téma jelentőségére. Az időben elvégzett diagnosztikus lépések elengedhetetlenek a csontvesztés korai felismerése és a törésprevenciós kezelés bevezetése érdekében. Orv Hetil. 2024; 165(21): 813–821.
Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies of women. However, recent advances in early detection screenings and treatment options have reduced mortality, even in the face of growing incidence. Endocrine therapies are commonly used as treatment for patients with hormone-receptor positive breast carcinoma, but are also known to induce bone loss and increase the risk of fractures. Osteoporotic fractures have emerged as an important clinical problem with the improving survival of women with breast cancer. In the present review, we would like to emphasize the importance of the topic by summarizing the published data of the past three decades. Timely diagnostic steps are essential for the detection of reduced bone mineral content and, if necessary, the introduction of treatment for fracture prevention. Orv Hetil. 2024; 165(21): 813–821.
