Brief Summary

Triple-negative breast cancer has a poor prognosis and lacks effective adjuvant treatment. A number of preclinical and clinical trials have shown that bisphosphonates have direct or indirect anti-tumor activity, and early use of bisphosphonate adjuvant therapy can prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis including bone metastasis and greatly improve the prognosis of cancer patients. Bisphosphonates have the advantages of low cost, low toxicity, and strong tolerance and can be used as an auxiliary treatment for triple-negative breast cancer. The preliminary study found that bisphosphonates can be chimeric with erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which can synergistically inhibit the in vitro tumor formation of cancer (such as non-small-cell lung cancer and breast cancer) cells and the growth of transplanted tumors. Therefore, the purpose of this multi-center prospective real-world study was to further investigate the effects of bisphosphonate adjuvant therapy on breast cancer.
