A real-world study assessing the use of bone-targeted agents and their impact on bone metastases in patients with prostate cancer treated in clinical practice in Europe
ConclusionsAlthough most patients with BMs receive a BTA, there remain a proportion of patients who are not receiving adequate treatment to prevent SREs or manage pain. Oncologists are more likely to adhere to clinical guidelines than urologists for the prescription of BTAs. Bone pain is common and undertreated. Increasing awareness of SRE prevention and bone pain management might improve patient care.
