Risedronate in Improving Bone Mineral Density and Bone Health in Postmenopausal Women With Ductal Carcinoma In Situ Enrolled in Clinical Trial CRUK-IBIS-II-DCIS

Summary

RATIONALE: Bisphosphonates, such as risedronate, may help improve bone health and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It is not yet known whether risedronate is effective in improving bone mineral density and bone health in women with ductal carcinoma in situ. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying risedronate to see how well it works compared to a placebo in improving bone mineral density and bone health in postmenopausal women with ductal carcinoma in situ enrolled in clinical trial CRUK-IBIS-II-DCIS (CRUK: Cancer Research UK) (DCIS: Ductal carcinoma in situ).
