Meds For Breast Cancer
Analysis from the Women's Health Initiative has found that women who took the bone saving drugs called bisphosphonates had fewer invasive breast cancers than women who didn't take the meds. The analysis of more than 150,000 women found that those who were taking Fosamax had 32 percent fewer cases of invasive breast cancer. Experts say further studies are needed, but they suggest that the finding may affect a woman's decision about whether she takes a bisphosphonate or not.
