Clinical data suggest that the mTOR inhibitor everolimus may have bone protective effects in addition to its anti-tumor effects in women with ER+/HER2− metastatic breast cancer receiving hormone-ablative therapies. Based on these findings, we tested the hypothesis, whether everolimus exerts concurrent anti-tumor effects while protecting the skeleton in murine models. Thus, we assessed bone metabolism and anti-tumor effects in osteolytic cancer models upon exposure to eve...
