Preclinical data suggest that bisphosphonates exhibit antitumor activity. However, clinical studies indicated conflicting results. In this study, we compared the overall survival (OS) of postmenopausal patients with nonmetastatic invasive breast cancer who received any of the second-generation nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates for osteopenia or osteoporosis, with the survival of those who did not.
