Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Bisphosphonate werden in der Therapie von Tumorpatienten mit Hyperkalzämie, Knochenmetastasen oder auch in der Osteoporosetherapie angewendet. In der letzten Zeit gibt es Hinweise auf mögliche Nebenwirkungen im Sinne von therapieresistenten Nekrosen im Kieferbereich. Offizielle Stellen der Arzneimittelkommissionen haben im Deutschen Ärzteblatt und in der Deutschen Apothekerzeitung auf die Möglichkeit dieser Nebenwirkung hingewiesen.

Falldarstellung

In unserer Behandlung befinden sich sieben Patienten mit therapieresistenten Osteonekrosen des Kiefers unter Bisphosphonattherapie. Die Darstellung dieser Fälle soll auf diese klinisch sehr bedeutsame mögliche unerwünschte Wirkung hinweisen.

Abstract

Background

Bisphosphonates are widely used in the treatment of cancer patients with hypercalcemia and bone metastases or in osteoporosis therapy. Current reports have focused on therapy-resistant osteonecrosis of the jaws as a possible side effect of bisphosphonates. Official German drug committees have recently warned about the possibility of these side effects in the publication organs Deutsches Ärzteblatt and Deutsche Apotheker Zeitung.

Case reports

So far we have had experience with seven patients showing therapy-resistant osteonecrosis of the mandible under bisphosphonate medication. The presentation of these cases is intended to call attention to this clinically important side effect of bisphosphonate medication.
