Despite recent improvements in therapeutic management of osteosarcoma, ongoing challenges in improving the response to chemotherapy warrants new strategies still needed to improve overall patient survival. Among new therapeutic approaches, zoledronic acid represents a promising adjuvant molecule to chemotherapy to limit the osteolytic component of bone tumors. However, zoledronic acid triggers the elevation of heat shock proteins (Hsp), including Hsp27 and clusterin (CLU), whi...
