Osteoporosis is a chronic condition of the bones that emerges when the balance between bone building and bone loss shifts toward net loss, resulting in porous, fragile skeletal tissue with reduced strength.

This article explores the journey ...

In this context, chemotherapy emerges as a cornerstone of systemic therapy that travels through the bloodstream to reach scattered tumor deposits. The overarching goal of chemotherapy in metastatic disease is to slow tumor growth, reduce tumor b...

Conversely, chronic patterns that press the body's regulatory systems toward fatigue, inflammation, and hormonal imbalan...
