Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women. A comprehensive research effort stretching back more than half a century makes breast cancer the most well-understood cancer, with advanced screening and treatment therapies available. Women are surviving longer, have increased remission rates and, in many cases, live as long as their cancer-free counterparts. Consequently, life after breast cancer is an increasingly important topic due to the negative effects of life-saving breast cancer treatments such as cardiovascular toxicity, bone loss and more. This article focuses on bone loss.
