Study to Evaluate Zoledronic Acid on Quality of Life and Skeletal-related Events as Adjuvant Treatment in Patients With Hormone-naïve Prostate Cancer and Bone Metastasis Who Have Undergone Orchiectomy

An open, multicenter and prospective study to evaluate the impact of the treatment with zoledronic acid 4 mg, on the quality of life and the skeletal-related events in patients with prostate cancer and bone metastasis that responds to hormonal therapy. Zoledronic acid is given to patients in a 15 minute-infusion every 4 weeks until a skeletal-related event occurs.
