TL;DR: The age-specific benefits of polychemotherapy appeared to be largely irrespective of menopausal status at presentation, oestrogen receptor status of the primary tumour, and of whether adjuvant tamoxifen had been given.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a collaborative meta-analysis to clarify the risks and benefits of adjuvant bisphosphonate treatment in early breast cancer, and found that the reduction in bone recurrence was more definite (0.73-0.94; 2p=0.004).
