- Title
Capsule Commentary on Shahinian et al.: Patterns of Bone Mineral Density Testing in Men Receiving Androgen Deprivation for Prostate Cancer.
- Authors
Penson, David
- Abstract
The author discusses a research study by V. B. Shahinian on bone mineral density (BMD) testing in survivors of prostate cancer. He mentions that the increase in BMD testing is clinically appropriate and not surprising provided that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) use is related to increased risk of osteoporosis. He states that the authors also reveal that patients being cared for by urologist alone were less probably to undergo BMD testing.
