Effect of zoledronic acid on metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer resistant to taxane, estramustine, carboplatin, and dexamethasone.

摘要

This case report demonstrates the effect of zoledronic acid (ZA) on a patient with bone metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) resistant to taxane, estramustine phosphate, carboplatin, and dexamethasone. The pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of bone metastasis on HRPC are also reviewed.
