Contents of This CME Activity

    Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), such as orchiectomy or gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy, is increasingly used for the treatment of localized, high-risk, or biochemical relapse of prostate cancer. Bone mineral density loss is associated with ADT, presenting an increased risk for fractures, and strategies for preventing bone loss include antiresorptive therapy and lifestyle changes, such as smoking cessation and reduced alcohol consumption.
