Re: High hopes for denosumab-- anti bc metastasis as well as anti bone met properties
unregistered
since they believe it will prevent metastasis it would of course help to take it before the cancer became "locally advanced" (big with lots of lymph nodes involved) or Stage IV
if truly with few side effects it could be taken on a preventative basis
There were a few cases of Osteonecrosis of the Jaw with denosumab, but no more than with zoledronic acid
That may keep it from being used on a preventative basis with respect to breast cancer , unless the person was also osteoporotic and needed to be on something for that osteoporosis anyway
Hope this helps
