The relationship between biochemical markers of bone resorption (C-terminal telopeptide, deoxypyridinoline, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b) and osteosynthesis (bone alkaline phosphatase) and clinical manifestations of bone metastases were studied in 239 patients with breast cancer with and without signs of bone involvement. High levels of C-terminal telopeptide and bone alkaline phosphatase were associated with poor prognosis: more severe skeletal complications and lesser survival values. These biochemical markers can be used for prognosis and optimization of therapy for bone metastases in patients with breast cancer.
