Abstract
OBJECTIVES
To investigate the spinal bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with invasive cervical cancer without bone metastases.
METHODS
We measured spinal bone mineral densities by dual-photon absorptiometry in 119 patients with invasive uterine cervical cancer and compared them with measurements from 135 control women.
RESULTS
When adjusted for age, mean bone mineral density in patients with uterine cervical cancer was 13.9% lower (P=0.0003) and age-matched percentiles were 9.2% lower (P=0.0003) than in control women. The deficits in bone mineral density and age-matched percentiles were confined to the uterine cervical cancer patients in their fifties.
CONCLUSIONS
Our study results suggest that patients with invasive cervical cancer have a lower spinal BMD, resulting in an increased risk of osteoporosis.
