A Pilot Study of Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women After Treatment for Breast Cancer
Completed
Conditions studied: Postmenopausal Bone Loss, Breast Cancer
In brief
The main purpose of this study is to see what levels of Bone Mineral Density post-menopausal women with breast cancer have, and to see if the level of Bone Mineral Density changes during a women's treatment after her surgery. This trial studies changes in Bone Mineral Density and markers of of bone activity in post-menopausal women receiving treatment for early stage breast cancer.
