DOI: 10.1002/cam4.3363
Abstract: Adjuvant chemotherapy benefits early‐stage breast cancer (BC) patients. Older women receive guideline‐adherent treatment less frequently and experience treatment delays more frequently. We evaluated factors associated with delaying adjuvant chemotherapy and the delays’ survival impact in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.3860
Abstract: We recently showed that zoledronate prevented fractures in older women with osteopenia (hip T‐scores between −1.0 and −2.5). In addition to fewer fractures, this study also suggested that women randomized to zoledronate had fewer vascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4108
Abstract: Because prevalent vertebral fracture (VF) is a strong predictor of future fractures, they are important to identify in clinical practice as osteoporosis medications are effective and can be used to reduce fracture risk in postmenopausal… read more here.
