What is the basis for their preferential growth within the bone microenvironment? Bidirectional interactions between tumor cells and cells that make up bone result in a selective advantage for tumor growth and can lead to bone destruction or new bone matrix deposition. This review discusses our current understanding of the molecu- lar components and mechanisms that are responsible for those interactions.展开更多

Results:The effective rates in zoledronic acid group and control group were 73.08%and 69.23%respectively.No significant difference was observed between the two groups.The median pain relief onset at days 5 and 7,respectively,and no significant difference was observed.The ECOG scores on the 7th day after medication:the differences in the zoledronic acid group before and after medication and between the two groups were both significant(P<0.001 and P=0.0448).The adverse reac- tion was no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion:Zoledronic acid is efficient and safe in the treatment of pain caused by metastatic tumor of bone and it has low adverse reaction rate and convenient shorter using time.展开更多
