Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most widespread cancers and recently overcome lung cancer as the most diagnosed worldwide. Due to the imbalanced sex hormones, BC patients are vulnerable to bone deterioration, and bone metastases causing severe pain and hypercalcemia. Despite antiresorptive drugs, prognosis remains poor and underestimated. This study proposes Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry (REMS) technology for the early detection and proactive management of imminent (within 5 years) fracture risk in BC patients with the aim to prevent avoidable fractures, reduce morbidity and preserve quality of life.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most widespread cancers and recently overcome lung cancer as the most diagnosed worldwide. Due to the imbalanced sex hormones, BC patients are vulnerable to bone deterioration, and bone metastases causing severe pain and hypercalcemia. Despite antiresorptive drugs, prognosis remains poor and underestimated. This study proposes Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry (REMS) technology for the early detection and proactive management of imminent (within 5 years) fracture risk in BC patients with the aim to prevent avoidable fractures, reduce morbidity and preserve quality of life.File in questo prodotto:
