Case 1

High blood pressure; diabetes, noninsulin requiring

BMI: 32 (obese); nonsmoker; alcohol intake: 2-3 beers/day

Presents with PSA 50

DRE clinical stage T3b

TRUS: biopsies with Gleason 4 + 3 in 9 of 12 cores

No detectable metastases by bone scan and CT

After discussing options, patient decides on external beam radiation therapy + 3 yrs of ADT


Would you recommend additional therapy to prevent bone loss/fractures?A. No, since I did not get a baseline BMD

B. Yes, regardless of baseline BMD

C. Yes, but only if he is osteoporotic

D. Yes, if he is osteopenic or osteoporotic

Fractures Impact Mortality and Life Expectancy Hip fracture

– Affects life expectancy dramatically[1,2]

– Aged 60-69 yrs: 11.5 yrs of decreased life expectancy

– Aged 0-79 yrs: 5.0 yrs of decreased life expectancy

Vertebral facture

– Prevalence in men is high (20%)[3]

– Clinical consequences: pain, kyphosis, loss of height, respiratory problems [4,5]

– 4 x increased risk of subsequent fracture[6]

– Predict increased mortality in men with a 10-yr HR of 2.4 (95% CI: 1.6-3.9)[6,7]

Screening for Bone Loss in Men: Who Is at Risk?Demographic Factors 65 yrs of age or older

History Family history of osteoporotic fractureFragility fracture after 40 yrs of ageSignificant height loss

Lifestyle and Dietary Factors SmokingExcessive intake of alcohol or caffeine (> 4 cups/day)Inadequate dietary calcium intakeWeight < 57 kg (or loss of > 10% of weight at 25 yrs of age)

Physical Findings Vertebral deformity (eg, kyphosis) or osteopenia evident on x-ray

Diseases Associated With Bone Loss Prostate cancerCOPDMalabsorption syndromeHyperparathyroidismHyperthyroidismHypogonadismRheumatoid arthritisRenal insufficiencyVitamin D deficiency

Treatments Associated With Bone Loss ADTAnticonvulsantsHeparinSystemic glucocorticoids (duration > 3 mos)

Case 2

80-yr-old male with biochemically recurrent, nonmetastatic prostate cancer starting ADT for a PSA of 15

5′9″ (175.3 cm), 158 lbs (72.1 kg)

DEXA scan at baseline reveals T-score of -0.9 at the femoral neck of the left hip and -0.2 at the spine

Patient also has Crohn’s disease and frequently receives steroid treatment

Drinks 4 glasses of wine/day and is a 60 pack-yr cigarette smoker

No previous history of fracture


In addition to lifestyle modification, would you also recommend bone-targeted therapy for this patient?

A. No

B. Yes, alendronate 70 mg/wk PO

C. Yes, denosumab 60 mg SC q6m

D. Yes, zoledronic acid 5 mg IV annually

E. Yes, zoledronic acid 4 mg IV annually

F. Yes, zoledronic acid 4 mg IV quarterly

Conclusions

Osteoporosis and fractures are an important health problem in older men

ADT for prostate cancer increases risks for osteoporosis and fractures

Some but not all men require drug therapy to prevent fractures during ADT

Effective therapies are available

– Bisphosphonates increase BMD

– Denosumab increases BMD and decreases vertebral fractures
