In addition, we plan to follow the women who were young at the time of exposure (< 5 years) and still premenopausal at last follow-up to determine whether early-childhood TCDD exposure affects longer-term bone health.
These small but significant DBP isotype-dependent difference in 25OHD concentration, and subsequent effects on PTH may have a longer term implications on bone and other health outcomes.
48 Interestingly, less common but serious risks of taking adjuvant endocrine therapies in the longer term, for example, bone loss, cardiovascular disease (in AIs) or endometrial cancer were not raised by any women in this study, and did not appear to be major considerations for adherence.
The presence of DTCs in the bone marrow is a recognized risk factor for the subsequent development of bone metastases, but longer term data are required to establish the clinical relevance of these findings.
The effect of prolonged bisphosphonate treatment on cortical bone, especially in the longer term, needs to be studied further, especially in view of reports of low-energy subtrochanteric femoral fractures following continuous long-term use of bisphosphonates.
However these authors did not investigate longer term effects of TIMP-3 overexpression on myelopoiesis, HSPC trafficking and bone formation.
However, longer term monitoring of the adverse effects of these medications (especially renal and bone complications) may demonstrate different incidences by formulation.
This negates the need for the operator to use computer assisted image registration methods to evaluate repeated images of the same bone regions in either short term follow up or longer term prospective studies [ 54].
Longer term follow-up of the Second Line study will provide greater clarification of clinical bone disease in this cohort.
In the longer term, scientists aim to identify the crucial chemicals that stem cells release to beef up bone formation.
