Non-osteoporotic patients with endocrine-sensitive breast cancer are often treated with denosumab only during the anti-aromatase treatment, and when the anti-aromatase therapy is discontinued, no antiresorptive drug is prescribed. This case report clearly shows how even a patient with a low risk of fractures could have multiple rebound vertebral fractures after denosumab discontinuation.

Abstract

Non-osteoporotic patients with endocrine-sensitive breast cancer are often treated with denosumab only during the anti-aromatase treatment, and when the anti-aromatase therapy is discontinued, no antiresorptive drug is prescribed. This case report clearly shows how even a patient with a low risk of fractures could have multiple rebound vertebral fractures after denosumab discontinuation.
