The Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the density and strength of bones. A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures calcium and other minerals in bone.
Cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and radiation, can negatively impact bone health and lead to decreased BMD, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Some studies suggest that low BMD may be associated with poorer survival outcomes in certain cancer types, although the relationship can be complex and influenced by various factors.
