Key Points:
- Bisphosphonates are an important treatment option that can help to strengthen bones in people with multiple myeloma.
- The two bisphosphonates used in the United States are pamidronate and zoledronic acid; talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of each drug.
- Patients should receive bisphosphonate treatment every three to four weeks for no longer than two years because of the potential side effects.
- Before receiving bisphosphonate treatment, patients should schedule an examination with a dentist.
To help doctors give their patients the best possible care, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) asks its medical experts to develop recommendations for specific areas of cancer care. In 2002, ASCO published a clinical practice guideline about bisphosphonate treatment for multiple myeloma. The scope of this guideline was expanded and updated in 2007. This guide for patients is based on ASCO's recommendations.
As you read this guide, please keep in mind that every person treated for cancer is different. These recommendations are not meant to replace your judgment or that of your doctor. The final decisions you and your doctors make will be based on your individual circumstances.
Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside of bones. Plasma cells are a part of the body's immune system and help the body fight infections. If a plasma cell mutates (changes abnormally), it can grow uncontrollably and eventually form a tumor called a plasmacytoma. Solitary plasmacytoma is a mass of myeloma cells that is in only one site in the bone or other organs. Myeloma is often called multiple myeloma because more than 90% of people have cancer in multiple places in the bone marrow at the time it is diagnosed. Myeloma often causes structural bone damage resulting in painful fractures (broken bones).
Bones are continually shaped and maintained by bone cells called osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts destroy old bone, and osteoblasts build new bone. People with myeloma have abnormally high levels of osteoclasts, which mean that bone is destroyed faster than it can be replaced, potentially causing fractures, bone pain, osteoporosis (thinning of the bones), and hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood).
Bisphosphonates are medications that help strengthen the bone. Two bisphosphonates are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating bone loss from multiple myeloma: pamidronate (Aredia) and zoledronic acid (Zometa). These drugs are given intravenously (IV) through a vein. The side effects may include flu-like symptoms, anemia, and joint and muscle pain. Uncommon but serious side effects have been identified in some patients, including:
- Kidney problems
- Acute kidney failure (when the kidneys suddenly stop working)
- Osteonecrosis (bone loss/weakening) of the jaw. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and infection of the jaw; loose teeth; drainage; and exposed bone.
ASCO recommends the following for the use of bisphosphonates for multiple myeloma:
- Patients with multiple myeloma who experience bone loss or fractures of the spine from osteopenia (lower bone density that leads to weaker bones) should receive either pamidronate or zoledronic acid every three to four weeks. Each treatment of pamidronate should be at least two hours, and each treatment of zoledronic acid should be at least 15 minutes.
- Bisphosphonate treatment should be given for two years. At two years, bisphosphonate treatment may be stopped if it is working. Treatment should begin again if the myeloma comes back and new bone problems develop.
- To learn whether a bisphosphonate is causing kidney problems, the level of creatinine (a measure of kidney function) should be checked before each dose of pamidronate or zoledronic acid, and patients should be monitored every three to six months for albuminuria (high levels of the protein, albumin, in the urine that might indicate damage to the kidneys). The drugs should be stopped for patients who develop kidney problems while receiving a bisphosphonate, but they may be resumed once the problem is identified and resolved.
- The dose of pamidronate should be lowered in patients with pre-existing mild to moderate kidney disease. The maker of zoledronic acid previously recommended lowering the treatment dose for these patients.
- For patients with existing severe kidney problems and extensive bone disease, a longer infusion (4 to 6 hours) of pamidronate is recommended instead of a two-hour infusion. Zoledronic acid is not recommended for these patients.
- Osteonecrosis of the jaw is an uncommon but potentially serious side effect of pamidronate and zoledronic acid. Before treatment, patients should receive a thorough dental examination, and any tooth or mouth infections should be treated. While receiving bisphosphonate treatment, patients should avoid having any invasive dental work done, such as dental surgery, and take good care of their teeth, mouth, and gums.
- Bisphosphonates may be used to treat pain from bone disease. For patients who are already experiencing bone pain, bisphosphonates may be used along with other standard methods to relieve pain, such as radiation therapy, pain medication, or surgery for bone fractures.
Bisphosphonates are not recommended for patients with the following conditions:
- Solitary plasmacytoma (one bone tumor)
- Smoldering (indolent) myeloma
- Conditions of abnormal plasma cells that are not myeloma but may eventually develop into myeloma, such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)
The use of biochemical markers to monitor bisphosphonate treatment is not recommended.
What This Means for Patients
Bisphosphonates help strengthen bones and are an important part of treatment for patients with multiple myeloma. The two bisphosphonates used in the United States to treat multiple myeloma-related bone loss are pamidronate and zoledronic acid. The two drugs have different infusion times and potentially different side effects. Talk with your doctor about the differences between the two bisphosphonates.
Before starting intravenous bisphosphonate treatment, schedule an examination with a dentist and tell the dentist about the upcoming treatment. Take care of your teeth, gums, and tongue with regular brushing and flossing and avoid having invasive dental procedures while receiving bisphosphonates.
Because additional risks of bisphosphonate treatment have been identified, ASCO recommends that most patients receive this treatment for no longer than two years. Talk with your doctor for more information about stopping and restarting bisphosphonate treatment.
Questions to Ask the Doctor
To learn more about bisphosphonates for multiple myeloma, consider asking your doctor the following questions:
- Should I receive bisphosphonate treatment?
- Which drug do you recommend?
- How long do I need to take this drug?
- How much time does the infusion take?
- What side effects can I expect from this treatment?
- What signs or symptoms should I look for?
- How will my treatment be monitored?
- What clinical trials are open to me?

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard has accused the Victorian Premier of a "grand act of incompetence" in his handling of the state's hospital funding and warned other states they too could have their budgets rearranged.
The Labor federal government has sought to appease patients and resolve an ongoing dispute with the state by bypassing the Liberal government and paying $107 million directly to hospital administrators.
But Victoria will be penalised for the additional hospital funding, with Labor set to strip the state of $107 million in other commonwealth payments.
Ms Gillard dismissed Victoria's claims the federal government had used faulty population data to slash $475 million from the state's health budget over four years, including $107 million this financial year.
Instead, she accused Premier Ted Baillieu of cutting $616 million from state hospitals and mounting a "very dishonest campaign" about healthcare funding.
"This is a grand act of incompetence by Premier Baillieu which will be judged by the Victorian people," Ms Gillard told reporters in Adelaide.
"He could have kept money flowing to health. He deliberately decided not to do it.
"Well, if he is going to play that kind of politics, I'm not going to see patients suffer, so we've gone round him.
But the Gillard government's about-face on Victoria immediately led Queensland's Liberal National Party and NSW's coalition governments to demand the return of their states' funding.
Queensland Health Minister Lawrence Springborg says his state will lose $103 million in federal funding this financial year.
NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner says a similar population adjustment has left her state out of pocket to the tune of $50 million a year.
"This strange deal to directly fund hospitals in Victoria does not relieve the federal government of its responsibility to restore health funding to all states and territories," Mrs Skinner told AAP.
Ms Gillard warned any premier or chief minister thinking of mounting a Victorian-style campaign on hospital funding her government wouldn't tolerate them playing politics on health.
"There is a very clear message to those premiers - we will go around you, we will deal direct with hospitals and local hospital networks, and we will rearrange your budget," she said.
"We will deal direct with hospitals and we will cut them back in another area."
Federal opposition health spokesman Peter Dutton believes the states are right to ask why Victoria is the only state to have its hospital funding effectively restored.
"Labor now needs to explain why a retrospective cut to hospital funding is still acceptable in NSW, Queensland and elsewhere," he said in a statement.
"It is government incompetence at its worst."
Mr Baillieu described the decision by federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek as a "sleight of hand".
"This is a short-term political fix," he said.
In its mid-year budget update in October, the federal government said national health reform funding would be $245 million lower in 2012/13.
Funding levels have been based on population growth outcomes, health price inflation and the lower cost of medical equipment due to the high Australian dollar.
Australian Medical Association (AMA) president Steve Hambleton called for an end to "petty politicking" over hospitals funding.
"The bottom line is that no government should be cutting money from their health budgets, especially when they are under enormous pressure to meet demand," he said.
"Stop the fighting and start the funding."

PHILADELPHIA – The Penn men's squash team was victorious Wednesday night against Drexel in its first-ever visit to the Kline and Specter Squash Center, 6-3.
The Quakers (2-1) are now 2-0 all-time against Drexel (1-3), having defeated them 9-0 on Nov. 30 of last year. Head coach Jack Wyant felt the his team turned in a good performance, but still has a few things its needs to improve on.
"We gritted out a tough victory against an ambitious and game Drexel squad," Wyant said. "We need to play better if we expect to leave Williamstown with two victories Friday night."
Penn had its hands full with a young Drexel quad, clinching the victory in the final two matches of the night. Senior captain Danny Greenberg led his team at No. 1 and notched his first win of the season in straight sets over Ibrahim Bakir. The Quakers dug themselves into a bit of a hole as Derek Chilvers, Augie Frank, and John Dudzik – Penn's No. 2-4 players – all fell to their opposing Dragons, with Chilvers the only one to win a set.
Other than that, it was all Red and Blue as the back end of Penn's lineup played near-flawless – the Quakers No. 5-9 players would lose just two sets the rest of the night. Freshman Liam Quinn was Penn's No. 5 on the night and he defeated Mark Lindsay in four sets for his first collegiate victory to seal the win for the Quakers.
The men will hit the road again on Friday at Williams in Williamstown, Mass. with the action beginning at 4:30 p.m. Next, the men will host their first home match of the season when Navy visits the Ringe Squash Courts on Dec. 6 at 5 p.m.

Why thank you, Tim!
Seems to me there are many right solutions to this quest. I too have a warm spot in my heart for charred meats. My problem is I have found for myself that some dogs do not char so easily.

Since the start of the 2011 season, Lucas Duda and Ike Davis have each played exactly 295 games.
Davis has been the presumed starter at first base, playing nowhere else. Duda, a natural first baseman, has been forced to try and learn right field, then left field, getting just 58 of those 295 games at his primary defensive position.
Over those three years, collectively, Davis has an OPS+ of 109. Duda has an OPS+ of 117. In 2013 alone, Davis checks in at 88. Duda's OPS+ in 2013 is 123. Davis once held a significant edge defensively, less because Duda is a poor first baseman (he isn't) and more because Davis was once great there. Davis no longer is, and no longer holds a meaningful defensive edge.
I think taking a step back from all the conversation, all the diagnoses, physical, psychological and the rest, and simply looking at the body of work makes the 2014 path pretty clear. Lucas Duda isn't a great bet to be a star. But he sure looks like a good bet to provide league average production or better at the position. And the Mets appear to have a solid boost to their first base numbers against lefties, whether Davis or Duda gets the main gig, by employing Josh Satin.
Still, the decision needs to be made: Duda or Davis. I'm aware of the difficulties in cutting ties with a 26-year-old one year removed from hitting 32 home runs. I don't know that the Mets can get anything significant for him in trade by holding onto him, rather than non-tendering him this winter, and I'd like to see what Duda can give them if he's just planted at first base.
We'll get that chance over the final 26 games, it appears. Davis' case is likely complete, with that oblique injury knocking him out, probably, for the remainder of the season.
But even if Duda struggles over the final 26 games, the Mets have a much larger sample to make this call. And it isn't especially close.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – In an attempt to solidify his already talented and competitive lineup, Head Men's Soccer Coach Keith Fulk recently signed two local athletes in the form of Steven Mazza and Jeffery Wills. Coming into the program as eligible freshman, both Mazza and Wills hope to give the Lions four solid years of play as they signed to compete at Saint Leo University beginning in the fall of 2012.
"Wills and Mazza are skilled local talents and will be valuable assets to the team," said Fulk. "They are knowledgeable about the sport and know what it takes to win."
At the close of last year's season, Fulk lost a total of five players, but he is confident that his new additions will help to strengthen the Lions roster. Both defensemen, Mazza and Wills will contribute from the backfield as the 29-man roster attacks the 15-game schedule, which now includes the new 'plus-one' conference format.
Steven Mazza
5-8, Defense
Dade City, Florida
Pasco High School
Mazza joins the Lions from nearby Pasco High School, where he played under Head Coach Barry Grayling. This high school team captain amassed quite an impressive resume in which he was selected to the All Conference First Team during his senior year, while also being named the 2011-12 Team MVP. During both his junior and senior seasons at Pasco, Mazza was named as the team's 'Defender of the Year.' An incoming Biology major, Mazza completed his club soccer career with the East Pasco Pirates under the guidance of head coach Ozzy Virgin.
Jeffery Wills
6-0, Defense
Hudson, Florida
Hudson High School
Wills, an incoming Business Management major, hails from the local Hudson High School, where he competed under the guidance of his father, Jeff Wills, for the past four seasons. As a senior, Wills a team captain and was selected as a First Team All-Conference player. During his junior season, however, he helped guide his team to becoming District Champions for his respective district. In addition to his high school resume, Wills was also a firm leader for his club team, the Florida Coast Football Club.
The Lions will begin regular season play at their home opener on Thursday, August 30 at 5:00 p.m. vs. Warner University.

Rocklin, Calif. -- Senior Theresa Brown netted a team-high 19 points and triggered a decisive second-half run to lead The Master's College past William Jessup 74-62 Saturday evening in Rocklin.
The victory completed a brief, but successful, two-game Northern California road trip for the Mustangs who stayed undefeated at 7-0 with two wins over the weekend.
That didn't look like it was going to happen, at least if you only looked at the opening 20 minutes. In that first stanza, the host Warriors controlled the tempo and the scoreboard, leading from the opening tip to the halftime horn. They tore off the first seven points of the game, led by as many as ten points, shrugged off a couple of Mustang rallies, and led 30-26 at the break.
The Mustangs did bounce back after the Warriors' initial burst, drawing to 12-10 on a pair of Jacqueline Marshall (San Clemente, CA) free throws with 14:52 remaining in the first half. Prior to that, Brown (Eugene, OR) tallied the club's first four points of the game and Millie Rivera (Allen, TX) added three more.
But, like they did throughout the opening half, the Warriors just managed to keep the Mustangs at hands-length, ripping off a 10-2 run over a 5:24 span to extend the advantage to 22-12. Consecutive three-pointers from Olivia Thompson (Huntington Beach, CA) and Nicole Nitake (Torrance, CA) helped to carve four points off that deficit but the Mustangs couldn't get closer than six points until Whitney Best's (Snohomish, WA) two free throws with just over a minute left made it a four-point margin at halftime.
Shooting just 26% from the field in the first half, the Mustangs were fortunate to be down by only four points at intermission. Brown's 10 points were a major reason why the club stayed within shouting distance as did 36% shooting by the Warriors.
Both clubs shot considerably better in the second half but it was a game-changing run by the Mustangs over the first five minutes of the period that turned the game in their favor. And, it was Brown who led the way. The senior post hit a jumper 42 seconds into the half and the Mustangs were off on an 18-2 streak that turned a four-point deficit into a 12-point lead (44-32). Brown added two free throws during the skein and two three-pointers each from Zoe Scott (Spirit Lake, ID) and Kimmy Iverson (San Marcos, CA) blew the game open.
The contest was far from over and the Warriors did make a couple of runs but much like Jessup did in the first half, the Mustangs were able to rebuff the hosts' efforts at a comeback. When the Warriors pulled to within 49-41 at the 11:27 mark, Nitake drained a three-pointer that keyed a quick 6-0 spurt for a 55-41 advantage with 10:15 left to play. Brown scored the last three points of that run on a basket and a free throw.
Down 66-53 with just under five minutes remaining, the Warriors made one last surge, reeling off seven straight points and holding the Mustangs scoreless for nearly three minutes to pull within 66-60 with 2:50 remaining. But, Best put an end to the skein with a free throw, Scott drained her third three-ball of the half, and Lena Rivera (Allen, TX) finished things off with two more charity tosses. That was enough to seal the deal on another Mustang win.
Sparked by a sizzling 7-9 performance from behind the arc, the Mustangs wound up shooting 61% from the field in the second half.
Brown's 19 points came on a 5-9 mark from the field and 9-12 at the line while Scott chipped in with 11 more, all of those coming in a hot second half. West equaled Scott's point total and also distributed a team-high four assists.
A quirk in the schedule has the Mustangs off for the next two weeks but when they return to action it will be against these same Warriors on December 15 in Bross Gym.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Izzo Golf Strap Over all it seem cheaply made. It had velcro at the bottom to attach to your golf handle? Not sure I could not get it to hold. They should have made it a metal clip and add metal clips to both top straps for easy on off with adjustable straps on the should. No instructions included or on their web site? I ended up taking it back to the store. .

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Horrible Had these straps on my bag for one round and couldn't make it all the way through. These murdered my shoulders and I ended up carrying the bag by its handle the majority of the holes I played!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from poor design Good concept, but flawed in design. one of the straps is made out of velcro and it isn't secure especially when adding the golf bag weight to it. I will be returning it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Strap seam digs into shoulder I was given a carry bag without a strap, so I got a Izzo as I had one in the past and it was great. But this one, after a couple of weeks of carrying my bag playing 4-4 times a week, 18-27 holes, is starting to dig into my right shoulder. The beaded seam has turned under the bottom pad. I have tried repositioning the strap and forcing the seam towards to top of the strap and nothing helps. It looks like a design or manufacturing issue. As the strap slips off my shoulder it has caused the seam to shift. The seam should be more on top of the strap.

John Tortorella was not happy after this one, and who could blame him?
Because while the effort wasn't good enough, as he put it, for Game 77, neither was the concentration.
I mean, there's a kid goalie thrown in under emergency circumstances, and yet the Rangers insisted on passing up chances to shoot, waiting to shoot, failing to shoot, or passing instead of shooting. Or missing the net? Again and again. And again. Not that they had that many chances. I thought Brandon Dubinsky had the two best, and one hit the post, the other the shaft of a Buffalo D-man's stick.
1) A lot of you want to run Marian Gaborik out of town, and I know that he needs bottom line: goals, rather than chances. But he did create chances. Lots of them. I thought he was pretty darn good in this game.
2) The Rangers, right down the line — as I said in the third paragraph — weren't good with the puck and while it's always hard to criticize this one guy, Ryan Callahan really struggled with the puck all night. Really. And two other normally reliables — Brandon Prust and Ruslan Fedotenko — had a tough night, too.
3) I thought Prust got hurt on the PK when he lost his stick just before the Brian Boyle turnover and the Dan Girardi deflection turned into the Connolly PPG and the only goal of the game. He missed a bunch of shifts. But it's just pain.
4) I don't want to blame Dan Girardi for the goal. And I'm not. But when you put your stick out like that — straight out at the shooter — and the puck hits it, it's going to go up most of the time. And with a goalie who plays on his knees as much as Henrik Lundqvist does, that's a dangerous proposition. It's not something you can think about in that situation, but sometimes you'd probably be better off having the goalie stop the shot cleanly. Great shot by Connolly made better by the deflection.
(*Correction: After the game, Lundqvist said the shot did not deflect, and called it "a bomb.")
5) The officials made the correct call on the disallowed goal by Artem Anisimov. Sorry.
6) Imagine if that puck Lundqvist took off the kneecap really had done damage? Then what?
7) The Rangers' effort was questionable, certainly not their best of the season, not their worst, either, but not good enough. And the hitting they did do, I thought, wasn't as hard or ferocious as usual. Maybe that has to do with Callahan being so dinged up, and Prust being ready for a body cast. Maybe.
8) MSG kept updating us on Knicks-Nets and Islanders-Devils, and not Carolina-Montreal. I don't get that. People who care about Knicks-Nets were watching that. People who care about Islanders-Devils were watching that. And people who care about both were switching over to the other game between periods when we were getting the highlights. But a huge majority of people watching Rangers-Baby Buffaloes care most, or only, about Carolina-Montreal.
9) Today is baseball season, and I find it terribly disappointing, and shockingly telling about the state of the game, that hockey didn't spend even five seconds of baseball's off-season in the spotlight. Well, except maybe for the Winter Classic. Used to be that hockey would get back pages in the city during the time between the Super Bowl and Opening Day. Not this year. Not anymore.
10) Probably the best news for the Rangers as they crank it up again tonight against the Islanders, in a game worth two points as valuable as the two they lost last night, is that most of the time this season when they played less than stellar, they rebounded very strongly the next time out. See Anaheim-San Jose. See Ottawa-Boston.
11) Did Christensen or Wolski contribute even one single positive thing to this game? So I think Sean Avery stays in — and deserves it. And, paging Mats Zuccarello.

I'm trekking out to Nassau Mausoleum this afternoon. God help me.

Docking & (Fine) Dining
Great Lakes
By M. B. Roberts — February 2002
Grand Hotel
Where Lake Huron spills into Lake Michigan, this island, completely car-free, takes you back in time. Dock your boat at the Mackinac Island Marina and then take a 10-minute horse-drawn carriage ride to the Grand Hotel, the world's largest summer hotel since 1887. Jackets and ties are required in the dining room.
Claim to Fame: 120-foot buffet.
(closed until spring)
Beaver Island is the most remote inhabited island on the Great Lakes (year-round population: 450). Find it on upper Lake Michigan, 30 miles due north of Charlevoix. Nina's, like its Beaver Island home, is a bit out of the way. The restaurant is on the water, but actually quite a hike from the public dock (St. James Municipal Dock). Call ahead and someone from Nina's will pick you up and whisk you to this great hideaway.
Claim to Fame: Any of three famous whitefish dishes. Best served with an awesome sunset.
