Evaluation of bone loss secondary to chemotherapy has not been extensively studied. Limited data show that women who have undergone chemotherapy, whether pre or postmenopausal have a greater degree of abnormal BMD as compared to non-chemotherapy patients. The purpose of this study is to obtain baseline bone mineral density (BMD) data on women with breast and gynecological cancers who will or have received chemotherapy. Subjects are being asked to participate in this study because they have been diagnosed with either breast and/or a gynecological cancer and will or have received chemotherapy.
