ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
There is a lack of data on bone loss in premenopausal patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy in Korea. In this study, we compared the bone mineral density of breast cancer patients after chemotherapy with normal control. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We used the data from the fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES) as normal control, and 119 women were enrolled who had surgery and chemotherapy due to breast cancer. They were under the age of 50 and premenopausal state according to their FSH level. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
