Prostate cancer could increase osteoporosis risk: study
Australian researchers have found an unlikely link between prostate cancer and osteoporosis.
Scientists at the Garvan Institute found men with prostate cancer face a 50 per cent higher risk of a fracture.
Researchers studied more than 800 men from the New South Wales city of Dubbo for 20 years.
They say the reasons why prostate cancer might cause osteoporosis remain a mystery.
But they say anyone with prostate cancer should think about having their bone density tested.
