Why are  prostate cancer patients where it has spread to bones given Zolendronic acid infusions (zometa)?

How does it help? Does it kill any rogue cells in bones?

  • Hi  I am not medically trained but Zometa is a bisphosphonate and is usually used to help Calcium to be absorbed into the bones. HT can cause thinning of the bones, so usually a calcium product like Adcal D3 is prescribed and the Zometa helps that to be absorbed to avoid osteoporosis. David
