Bone Loss by Anastrozole may Reverse After Stopping It by Angela Mohan on January 22, 2021 at 12:25 PM
Anastrozole is a hormone treatment recommended by NICE to prevent breast cancer in high-risk postmenopausal women.
The results, published in the
British Journal of Cancer, are from a sub-study of 1,410 women from the International Breast cancer Intervention Study (IBIS-II) which investigated bone density in women who had completed anastrozole treatment.
At the seven year mark, two years after women stopped treatment, the study found that those with weakened bones experienced an increase in bone density at the lumbar spine. The increase did not occur at the total hip. The results suggest that decreased bone mineral density due to anastrozole treatment improves after anastrozole treatment is stopped.

Bone density loss from Anastrozole partially reverses after treatment stops: Study ANI | Updated: Jan 22, 2021 08:40 IST
London [UK], January 22 (ANI): A study by researchers from Queen Mary University of London shows that bone loss known to be associated with the use of the breast cancer prevention drug Anastrozole partially reverses, particularly at the lumbar spine, after stopping treatment.

A recent study suggests the possible existence of ‘stupendously large black holes’ or SLABS, even larger than the supermassive black holes already observed in the centres of galaxies.
The research, led by Queen Mary Emeritus Professor Bernard Carr in the School of Physics and Astronomy, together with F. Kühnel (Münich) and L. Visinelli (Frascati), investigated how these SLABs could form and potential limits to their size.
Whilst there is evidence of the existence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei – with masses from a million to ten billion times that of the Sun – previous studies have suggested an upper limit to their size due to our current view on how such black holes form and grow.
