Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators will involve about 25 Patients of postmenopausal women who have ER/PR positive early breast cancer in each arm.

The study is a two-arm comparative, prospective, interventional, and randomized study. All patients who are on oral daily letrozole (2.5 mg), will be randomly assigned to receive either immediate or delayed ZOL (4 mg via 15-min infusion every 6 months) for 24 months. Immediate-ZOL patients will receive ZOL immediately after randomization; delayed-ZOL patients will receive ZOL only if their T-score fall below -2.0, after a nontraumatic clinical fracture, or if an asymptomatic fracture will be detected by spinal X-ray at the 3- monthly assessment. All patients will receive daily supplements containing calcium (500 mg) and vitamin D (400-800 IU). Baseline bone mineral density and every 3 months will be done for the enrolled patients.

-Research outcome measures:

1. Primary (main): The primary endpoint will be the percentage change in lumber spine (L2-L4) BMD at 12 months for immediate- versus delayed-ZOL patients.
2. Secondary (subsidiary): Secondary end points will include percentage change in total hip BMD at each assessment, fracture incidence, time to disease recurrence (local relapse or distant metastasis), DFS, and safety.
