ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the treatment effect of zoledronic acid and letrozole on life quality of postmenopausal women with breast cancer operation. Methods:Totally 26 patients were in the control group,and given letrozole,and 23 patients were in the treat-ment group with zoledronic and letrozole. The patients in the two groups were assessed bone mineral density ( BMD) of hip and lumbar vertebrate before the treatment and the 6th and 12th month after the treatment. BALP, CTX, VAS, FACT-B and adverse reactions were also assessed at the 6th and 12th month after the treatment. Results:Improvement of BMD and FACT-B in the treatment group was sig-nificantly better than that in the control group. BALP, CTX and VAS in the treatment group were all decreased more significantly than those in the control group (P0. 05). Conclusion:By preventing bone loss and increasing BMD, the combination of zoledronic acid and letrozole can effectively im-prove the life quality of postmenopausal women with breast cancer operation.
