Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) presents a challenge in management due to its invasive nature and propensity for local recurrence. While either bone grafting (BG) or bone cement (BC) can be utilized to fill defects after intralesional curettage, the optimal treatment remains contested. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of defect filling with BC compared with BG on recurrence rates in patients with GCTB following intralesional curettage. METHODS A random-effects model binary outcome meta-analysis was performed utilizing recurrence rate for the BC and BG groups to evaluate the risk ratio (p < 0.05 considered significant). There were 1,454 patients included. RESULTS Intralesional curettage with BG had a recurrence risk ratio of 1.68 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22-2.31, p = 0.001) when compared with BC. The overall rate of recurrence for GCTB after intralesional curettage with BC was 20.05% vs. 29.74% with BG (95% CI, 0.17-0.23 vs. 0.26-0.33, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Intralesional curettage with BC for the treatment of GCTB demonstrated lower recurrence rates than intralesional curettage with BG. However, the rates of recurrence remain substantial for both groups, necessitating careful consideration of the benefits and potential pitfalls associated with BC vs. BG when considering salvage options after recurrences.

J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:488. [PMID: 39154187 PMCID: PMC11330130 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04981-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive neoplasm with a high propensity for recurrence following intralesional curettage. The introduction of denosumab, a RANKL inhibitor, has shown potential in facilitating joint-sparing surgery. However, concerns exist regarding its impact on local recurrence rates. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined preoperative denosumab with adjuvant microwave ablation (MWA) for the treatment of high-risk GCTB. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 19 patients with high-risk GCTB who underwent preoperative denosumab treatment followed by curettage and adjuvant MWA. The primary outcome measure was the local recurrence rate, with secondary outcomes including functional status assessed by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score and safety profile of the treatment. RESULTS In this retrospective analysis, we evaluated the outcomes of 19 patients with high-risk GCTB treated with preoperative denosumab and adjuvant MWA. The median follow-up duration was 33.1 months, 3 patients (15.8%) experienced local recurrence at a median of 21.6 months postoperatively and the local recurrence-free survival was 81.2% at two years. Notably, no patient developed lung metastasis, and all recurrences were successfully managed with repeat curettage and MWA, with a mean MSTS score of 27.3. No patient required joint replacement due to tumor recurrence, resulting in a 100% joint preservation rate. CONCLUSION The combination of preoperative denosumab and adjuvant MWA is a feasible and effective strategy for the management of high-risk GCTB, providing effective local control with preserved joint function. This approach may offer a surgical alternative for young patients where joint preservation is paramount.

Abstract
Curettage is recommended for the treatment of Campanacci stages 1-2 giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) in the extremities, pelvis, sacrum, and spine, without preoperative denosumab treatment. In the distal femur, bone chips and plate fixation are utilized to reduce damage to the subchondral bone and prevent pathological fracture, respectively. For local recurrence, re-curettage may be utilized when feasible. En bloc resection is an option for very aggressive Campanacci stage 3 GCTB in the extremities, pelvis, sacrum, and spine, combined with 1-3 doses of preoperative denosumab treatment. Denosumab monotherapy once every 3 months is currently the standard strategy for inoperable patients and those with metastatic GCTB. However, in case of tumor growth, a possible malignant transformation should be considered. Zoledronic acid appears to be as effective as denosumab; nevertheless, it is a more cost-effective option. Therefore, zoledronic acid may be an alternative treatment option, particularly in developing countries. Surgery is the mainstay treatment for malignant GCTB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soft tissue recurrence of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is rare. This study aims to provide its prevalence, recurrent locations, risk factors, effective detection methods and a modified classification for this recurrence. METHODS Patients with soft tissue recurrence after primary surgery for GCTB were screened from January 2003 to December 2022. General data, recurrence frequency, types according to an original classification (type-I: peripheral ossification; type-II: central ossification; type-III: without ossification), a modified classification with more detailed subtypes (type I-1: ≤ 1/2 peripheral ossification; type I-2: ≥ 1/2 peripheral ossification; type II-1: ≤ 1/2 central ossification; type II-2: ≥ 1/2 central ossification; type III: without ossification), locations, detection methods such as ultrasonography, X-ray, CT or MRI, Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scores were recorded. Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors for recurrence frequency. RESULTS A total of 558 recurrent cases were identified from 2009 patients with GCTB. Among them, 32 were soft tissue recurrence. The total recurrence rate was 27.78% (558/2009). Soft tissue recurrence rate was 5.73% among 558 recurrent cases, and 1.59% among 2009 GCTB patients, respectively. After excluding one patient lost to follow-up, 10 males and 21 females with the mean age of 28.52 ± 9.93 (16-57) years were included. The definitive diagnosis of all recurrences was confirmed by postoperative pathology. The interval from primary surgery to the first recurrence was 23.23 ± 26.12 (2-27) months. Eight recurrences occurred from primary GCTB located at distal radius, followed by distal femur (6 cases). Recurrence occurred twice in 12 patients and 3 times in 7 patients. Twenty-seven recurrences were firstly detected by ultrasonography, followed by CT or X-ray (10 cases in each). Types at the first recurrence were 5 cases in type-I, 8 in type-II and 18 in type-III. According to the modified classification, 3 patients in type I-1, 2 in type I-2, 1 in type II-1, 7 in type II-2, and 18 in type III. The mean MSTS score was 26.62 ± 4.21 (14-30). Neither Campanacci grade nor recurrence type, modified classification and other characters, were identified as risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Soft tissue recurrence of GCTB may recur for more than once and distal radius was the most common location of primary GCTB that would suffer a soft tissue recurrence. Ultrasonography was a useful method to detect the recurrence. Since no risk factors were discovered, a careful follow-up with ultrasonography was recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrent giant cell tumor (RGCT) of the spine represents a clinical challenge for surgeons, and the treatment strategy remains controversial. This study aims to describe the long-term follow-up outcomes and compare the efficacy of en bloc spondylectomy versus piecemeal spondylectomy in treating RGCT of the thoracolumbar spine. METHODS A total of 32 patients with RGCT of the thoracolumbar spine treated from June 2012 to June 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 15 patients received total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) with wide or marginal margin while 17 patients received total piecemeal spondylectomy (TPS) with intralesional margin. Postoperative Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Score (ECOG-PS), Frankel classification and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were evaluated after surgery. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and differences were analyzed with the log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was performed with Cox regression to identify the independent prognostic factors affecting RFS. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 41.9 ± 17.5 months, all patients with compromised neurologic functions exhibit significant improvement, with the mean ECOG-PS decreasing from 1.5 ± 1.3 to 0.13 ± 0.3 (p < 0.05). Among the 17 patients treated with TPS, eight patients developed local recurrence after a median time of 15.9 ± 6.4 months and four patients died from progressive disease. On the other hand, local recurrence were well managed with TES, since only one out of 15 patients experienced local relapse and all patients are alive with satisfied function at the latest follow-up. The median RFS for patients receiving TES and TPS are 75.0 months (95% CI: 67.5-82.5 m) and 38.3 months (95% CI: 27.3-49.3 m) respectively (p = 0.008). Multivariate analysis shows that the Ki67 index (p = 0.016), resection mode (p = 0.022), and denosumab (p = 0.039) are independent risk factors affecting RFS. CONCLUSIONS TES with wide/marginal margin should be offered to patients with RGCT whenever feasible, given its long-term benefits in local control and symptom alleviation. Additionally, patients with lower Ki67 index and application of denosumab tend to have a better prognosis.

Giant cell tumor of bone in the pediatric population: a retrospective study highlighting cases of metaphyseal only location and increased local recurrence rates in skeletally immature patients. Skeletal Radiol 2023; 52:2399-2408. [PMID: 37154873 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-023-04359-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the presentation of giant cell tumors (GCT) of the bone in the pediatric population to (1) improve the differential diagnosis of pediatric bone tumors and (2) identify the origin of GCT. Understanding the origin of bone tumors assists in establishing appropriate diagnoses and recommending treatment options. This is particularly important in children, where evaluating the need for invasive procedures is balanced with the desire to avoid overtreatment. GCT have historically been considered epiphyseal lesions with potential metaphyseal extension. Therefore, GCT may be inappropriately excluded from the differential diagnosis of metaphyseal lesions in the skeletally immature. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 14 patients from 1981 to 2021 at a single institution who had histologic confirmation of GCT and were less than 18 years old at diagnosis. Patient characteristics, tumor location, surgical treatment, and local recurrence rates were collected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Ten (71%) patients were female. Eleven (78.6%) were epiphysiometaphyseal (1 epiphyseal, 4 metaphyseal, 6 epiphysiometaphyseal). Five patients had an open adjacent physis, of which three (60%) had tumors confined solely to the metaphysis. Of the five patients with open physis, four (80%) developed local recurrence while only one patient (11%) with a closed physis had local recurrence (p value = 0.0023). Our results illustrate that for the skeletally immature, GCT can (and in our results more commonly did) occur in the metaphyseal location. These findings suggest that GCT should be included in the differential diagnosis of primary metaphyseal-only lesions in the skeletally immature.

Abstract
Giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) is one of the most common local aggressive tumourous lesions with a wide variety of biological behaviour. However, there are no clear indicative criteria when choosing the type of procedure and the complication rates remain high, especially in terms of local recurrence. The purpose of the study was to (1) identify the main risk factors for local recurrence, (2) evaluate the recurrence-free survival in dependence on neoadjuvant denosumab use and the type of procedure, and (3) compare the functional outcomes after curettage and en bloc resection. The group included 102 patients with GCTB treated between 2006 and 2020. The mean age of patients was 34.4 years (15-79). The follow-up period was 8.32 years (2-16) on average. Local recurrence occurred in 14 patients (29.8%) who underwent curettage and in 5 patients (10.6%) after en bloc resection. Curettage was shown to be a factor in increasing recurrence rates (OR = 3.64 [95% CI: 1.19-11.15]; p = 0.023). Tibial location was an independent risk factor for local recurrence regardless of the type of surgery (OR = 3.22 [95% CI: 1.09-9.48]; p = 0.026). The recurrence-free survival rate of patients treated with resection and denosumab was higher compared to other treatments at five years postoperatively (p = 0.0307). Functional ability and pain as reported by patients at the latest follow-up were superior after curettage compared to resection for upper and lower extremity (mean difference: -4.00 [95% CI: -6.81 to -1.18]; p < 0.001 and mean difference: -5.36 [95% CI: -3.74 to -6.97]; p < 0.001, respectively). Proximal tibia tumour location and curettage were shown to be major risk factors for local recurrence in GCTB regardless of neoadjuvant denosumab treatment. The recurrence-free survival rate of patients treated with resection and denosumab was higher compared to other treatments. The functional outcome of patients after curettage was better compared to en bloc resection.

Abstract
This systematic review evaluates the effects of heat treatments in de novo, residual and recurrent giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB). Studies were eligible for inclusion if one of the following treatments was administered: radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation, argon cauterization, electrocauterization and hot liquid treatment. The primary outcome was recurrence. Secondary outcomes were complications, pain, function, and quality of life. Recurrence rates for microwave ablation as an adjuvant to intralesional curettage were 0%, 4% and 10% (3 retrospective single-group studies); for argon cauterization 4%, 8% and 26% (3 cohort studies); electrocauterization 0% to 33% (8 cohort studies); and hot liquid 9.5% and 24% (2 cohort studies). Follow-up was generally ≥24 months. Data on pain, function and quality of life were scarce. Complications included infection and secondary osteoarthritis. Current evidence does not demonstrate or exclude an effect of heat treatments on recurrence in GCTB. Further research should objectify if (subgroups of) patients benefit from these treatments.

Abstract
The giant cell tumor of bones (GCTB) is a benign bone tumor with high postoperative recurrence potential. No specific treatment protocol has been developed to date in case of tumor recurrence, and the kind of re-operative surgery depends upon the surgeon's preferences. The aim of this systematic review is to determine the second recurrence rate and the respective functional results of the available treatment options applied to recurrent GCTB. Medline/PubMed and Scopus were searched to identify articles published until March 2023. Twelve studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, comprising 458 patients suffering from recurrent GCTB. The overall incidence of second recurrence was 20.5%, at a mean interval of 28.8 months after the first surgery, and it was more evident after intralesional curettage (IC) surgery than en-bloc resection (EBR) (p = 0.012). In the IC group of patients, the second recurrence rate was lower and the functional outcome was greater when polymethylmethacrylate cement (PMMAc) was used as an adjuvant instead of bone grafting (p < 0.001 for both parameters). Reconstruction of the created bone defect after EBR with a structural allograft provided a better outcome than prosthesis (p = 0.028). According to this systematic review, EBR (first choice) and IC with PMMAc (second choice) are the best treatment options for recurrent GCTB.

Tsukamoto S, Aiba H, Righi A, Nitta Y, Traversari M, Mavrogenis AF, Honoki K, Tanaka Y, Donati DM, Errani C. Giant cell tumor of bone with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst does not have a higher risk of local recurrence. J Surg Oncol 2023. [PMID: 37053028 DOI: 10.1002/jso.27283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid-fluid levels (FFLs) is found in 10%-16% of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), and the presence of FFLs raises the suspicion of GCTB with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC), which can lead to increased intraoperative bleeding and, blurring the operative field, be associated with a risk of local recurrence. The first objective of this study is to determine whether secondary ABC is associated with a higher risk of local recurrence after curettage in patients with GCTB of the extremities. The second objective of this study is to investigate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the presence of FFLs detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose secondary ABC associated with GCTB. METHODS Two hundred and eighty patients with GCTB of the extremities who underwent curettage at the authors' institutions between 1980 and 2021 were included in this study. RESULTS Secondary ABC was found in 36 of 280 patients (12.9%) and local recurrence occurred in 66 of 280 patients (23.6%). Multivariate analysis showed no significant correlation between secondary ABC and local recurrence (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.87 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.00-3.53]; p = 0.051). Preoperative MRI revealed FFLs in 13 of 82 patients (15.9%). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of FFLs detected on preoperative MRI to diagnose secondary ABC were 36.8%, 90.5%, 53.8%, and 82.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION The results of this study showed that secondary ABC does not increase the risk of local recurrence after curettage in patients with GCTB of the extremities. Although rare, FFLs were present in patients with GCTB and half of those with FFLs detected on preoperative MRI had secondary ABC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, researchers have proposed a number of adjuvant methods for extended curettage of giant cell tumors of the bone. However, various schemes have significant differences in efficacy and safety. Therefore, this article will describe an empirical expanded curettage protocol, 'triple clear', in detail to show the effect of the efficient surgical protocol. METHOD Patients with Campanacci grades II and III primary GCTB who were treated with either SR (n = 39) or TC (n = 41) were included. Various perioperative clinical indicators, including the therapy modality, operation time, Campanacci grade, and filling material were recorded and compared. The pain level was determined by the visual analog scale. Limb function was determined by the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) score. Follow-up time, recurrence rates, reoperation rates, and complication rates were also recorded and compared. RESULT The operation time was 135.7 ± 38.4 min in the TC group and 174.2 ± 43.0 min in the SR group (P < 0.05). The recurrence rates were 7.3% in the TC group and 8.3% in the SR group (P = 0.37). The MSTS scores at three months after surgery were 19.8 ± 1.5 in the TC group and 18.8 ± 1.3 in the SR group. The MSTS scores at two years were 26.2 ± 1.2 in the TC group and 24.3 ± 1.4 in the SR group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION TC is recommended for patients with Campanacci grade II-III GCTB and for those with a pathological fracture or slight joint invasion. Bone grafts may be more suitable than bone cement in the long term.

Association between Inflammatory Markers and Local Recurrence in Patients with Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: A Preliminary Result. Curr Oncol 2023; 30:1116-1131. [PMID: 36661734 PMCID: PMC9857827 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol30010085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) has a high local recurrence rate of approximately 20%. Systemic inflammatory markers, such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), hemoglobin (Hb), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), have been reported as prognostic markers in patients with malignant tumors. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between these markers and the local recurrence rate of GCTB. In total, 103 patients with GCTB who underwent surgery at the authors' institutions between 1993 and 2021 were included. Thirty patients experienced local recurrence. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that tumor site, preoperative and postoperative denosumab treatment, and surgery were significantly associated with local recurrence-free survival. LDH was associated with local recurrence-free survival on univariate analysis only. NLR, mGPS, PNI, LMR, and PLR score did not correlate with the local recurrence rate. In conclusion, NLR, mGPS, PNI, LMR, PLR score, Hb, ALP, and LDH levels are not correlated with the local recurrence rate of GCTB. However, due to the small number of patients included in this study, this result should be re-evaluated in a multicenter study with a larger sample size.

Outcome of re-operation for local recurrence following pre-operative denosumab administration and curettage for giant cell tumour of bone with difficult joint preservation. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2023; 47:265-273. [PMID: 36282294 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-022-05613-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Denosumab enables joint-sparing surgery (curettage) and surgical downstaging in patients with giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB), where joint preservation is not possible. However, denosumab treatment causes osteosclerosis of the lesion, making it difficult to curet the lesion, leaving the tumour behind, and increasing the local recurrence rate. We performed a three-centre retrospective study to investigate the postoperative local re-recurrence rate, joint preservation status, and functional outcomes of locally recurrent lesions after preoperative denosumab treatment and curettage in patients with difficult joint preservation. METHODS We included 38 of 142 patients with primary GCTB of the extremities who underwent preoperative denosumab and curettage between 2009 and 2021 with local recurrence. Preoperative denosumab was indicated in patients with minimal residual periarticular and subchondral bones, large extraosseous lesions (Campanacci stage 3), and pathological fractures that made joint preservation difficult. RESULTS Local re-recurrence occurred in 6 (15.8%) of the 38 patients. In 29 patients who underwent re-curettage, local re-recurrence occurred in six patients (20.7%); however, in nine patients who underwent en bloc resection, no local re-recurrence was observed. The joint preservation rate was 63.2% (24 of 38 patients), with a median Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score of 28 (interquartile range: 26.8-29.0). The median follow-up period after surgery for local recurrence was 63.5 months (interquartile range: 42.5-82.4). CONCLUSION Since the local re-recurrence rate after re-curettage for local recurrence was low, and the joint preservation rate and affected limb function were good, preoperative denosumab administration may be considered in patients who require downstaging to maintain good limb function (joint preservation).

Outcome of Reoperation for Local Recurrence Following En Bloc Resection for Bone Giant Cell Tumor of the Extremity. Curr Oncol 2022; 29:6383-6399.

Abstract
En bloc resection is typically performed to treat giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB), particularly when curettage can be challenging owing to extensive bone cortex destruction with soft tissue extension. Few reports have addressed the clinical outcomes after reoperation for local recurrence in patients with GCTB who underwent en bloc resection. In this multicenter retrospective study, we investigated local recurrence, distant metastasis, malignant transformation, mortality, and limb function in patients treated for local recurrence following en bloc resection for GCTB. Among 205 patients who underwent en bloc resection for GCTB of the extremities between 1980 and 2021, we included 29 with local recurrence. En bloc resection was performed for large tumors with soft tissue extension, pathological fractures with joint invasion, complex fractures, and dispensable bones, such as the proximal fibula and distal ulna. Local re-recurrence, distant metastasis, malignant transformation, and mortality rates were 41.4% (12/29), 34.5% (10/29), 6.9% (2/29), and 6.9% (2/29), respectively. The median Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was 26 (interquartile range, 23–28). The median follow-up period after surgery for local recurrence was 70.1 months (interquartile range, 40.5–123.8 months). Local recurrence following en bloc resection for GCTB could indicate an aggressive GCTB, necessitating careful follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB) are intermediate, locally aggressive primary bone tumors. For conventional GCTB, surgery remains treatment of choice. For advanced GCTB, a more important role came into play for systemic therapy including denosumab and bisphosphonates over the last decade. RECENT FINDINGS In diagnostics, focus has been on H3F3A (G34) driver mutations present in GCTB. The most frequent mutation (G34W) can be detected using immunohistochemistry and is highly specific in differentiating GCTB from other giant cell containing tumors. PD-L1 expression can be used as biological marker to predict higher recurrence risks in GCTB patients.The use of bisphosphonate-loaded bone cement is under investigation in a randomized controlled trial. A new technique consisting of percutaneous microwave ablation and bisphosphonate-loaded polymethylmethacrylate cementoplasty was proposed for unresectable (pelvic) GCTB.Increased experience with use of denosumab raised concern on elevated recurrence rates. However, conclusions of meta-analyses should be interpreted with risk of indication bias in mind. Several small studies are published with short-course denosumab (varying from 3 to 6 doses). One small trial directly compared denosumab and zoledronic acid, with no statistical differences in radiological and clinical outcome, and nonsignificantly higher recurrence rate after denosumab. As bisphosphonates directly target neoplastic stromal cells in GCTB, larger directly comparative trials are still warranted. SUMMARY Neoadjuvant denosumab is highly effective for advanced GCTB, and a short-course is advised to facilitate surgery, whereas increased recurrence rates remain of concern. Randomized controlled trials are conducted on bisphosphonate-loaded bone cement and on optimal dose and duration of neoadjuvant denosumab. PD-L1 could be a potential new therapy target in GCTB.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to present the clinical, oncological, and functional results of locally aggressive benign bone tumors treated with extended intralesional curettage without the use of adjuvant in a tertiary orthopedic oncology center. Method: A total of 172 patients treated with surgical curettage and high-speed burrs for the diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst, giant cell tumor, osteoblastoma, chondroblastoma, and chondromyxoid fibroma were included in the study. Demographic, radiological, and clinical data of the patients were analyzed. Results: One-hundred seventy two patients (101 (59%) female and 71 (41%) male) with a mean age of 23 years (6–84). The mean follow-up period was 48 months (18–108). In the study, a total of 8 (4.6%) patients had postoperative complications, 17 (9.9%) patients had recurrence in the postoperative period. Diameter greater than 5 cm was found to be a risk factor for recurrence (p < 0.004). The probability of developing complications was found to be significantly higher in patients with recurrence (p < 0.001). There was no significant relationship between recurrence and age, tumor type, and tumor stage. Conclusion: Successful treatment results can be obtained with extended surgical curettage, high-speed burr, and cauterization without the use of chemical adjuvants in locally aggressive bone tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ideal treatment method based on the size of the defect in local aggressive bone tumors is yet to be described. We evaluated the mechanical behavior of different fixation methods for various defect sizes located in the proximal tibia. METHODS Ninety-one sheep tibiae were distributed in five groups. Each study group was further divided into three subgroups, forming 25%, 50%, and 75% metaphyseal defects. The five groups were divided as follows: 1) control group where tibiae remained intact (n = 7); 2) isolated defect created, without filling (n = 21); 3) filling with cement (n = 21); 4) application of two subchondral cortical screws in addition to cement (n = 21); and 5) application of plate-screw fixation in addition to cement (n = 21). A loading test simulating the axial load applied by the distal femur to the tibia plateau was performed. The maximum failure load was compared between groups according to the defect size and fixation method. FINDINGS In 25% defects, group 5 had significantly higher failure load than other groups. However, in 50% and 75% defects, additional fixation did not increase the failure load. Also, additional screw fixation did not increase failure load in all defect sizes. There was a significant positive correlation between fracture morphology and defect size, fixation method, and failure load. INTERPRETATION Additional plate-screw fixation would increase the stability in defects ≤25%. In defects ≥50%, additional fixation does not increase stability. Screw fixation in addition to cementing does not increase stability in all defect sizes.

Abstract
Purpose: To find out the most appropriate management scheme through the analysis and comparison of different inactivation methods and filling materials. Method: A systematic literature search was performed using the terms, anhydrous ethanol, phenol, hypertonic saline, cryotherapy, thermal therapy, bone reconstruction, GCTB, and etc., Selected articles were studied and summarized. The mechanism, clinical effects, and influence on bone repair of various methods are presented. Recent developments and perspectives are also demonstrated. Recent Findings: Compared to curettage alone, management of the residual cavity can effectively reduce the recurrence of giant cell tumours of bone. It is a complex and multidisciplinary process that includes three steps: local control, cavity filling, and osteogenic induction. In terms of local control, High-speed burring can enlarge the area of curettage but may cause the spread and planting of tumour tissues. Among the inactivation methods, Anhydrous ethanol, and hyperthermia therapy are relatively safe and efficient. The combination of the two may achieve a better inactivation effect. When inactivating the cavity, we need to adjust the approach according to the invasion of the tumour. Filling materials and bone repair should also be considered in management.

Abstract
Simple Summary According to the 2020 World Health Organization classification, a giant cell tumor of bone is an intermediate malignant bone tumor. Denosumab treatment before curettage should be avoided due to the increased risk of local recurrence. Administration of denosumab before en bloc resection of the giant cell tumors of the pelvis and spine facilitates en bloc resection. Nerve-sparing surgery after embolization is a possible treatment for giant cell tumors of the sacrum. Denosumab therapy with or without embolization is indicated for inoperable giant cell tumors of the pelvis, spine, and sacrum. A wait-and-see approach is recommended for lung metastases at first, then denosumab should be administered to the growing lesions. Radiotherapy is not recommended owing to the risk of malignant transformation. Local recurrence after 2 years or more should be indicative of malignant transformation. This review summarizes the treatment approaches for non-malignant and malignant giant cell tumors of bone. Abstract The 2020 World Health Organization classification defined giant cell tumors of bone (GCTBs) as intermediate malignant tumors. Since the mutated H3F3A was found to be a specific marker for GCTB, it has become very useful in diagnosing GCTB. Curettage is the most common treatment for GCTBs. Preoperative administration of denosumab makes curettage difficult and increases the risk of local recurrence. Curettage is recommended to achieve good functional outcomes, even for local recurrence. For pathological fractures, joints should be preserved as much as possible and curettage should be attempted. Preoperative administration of denosumab for pelvic and spinal GCTBs reduces extraosseous lesions, hardens the tumor, and facilitates en bloc resection. Nerve-sparing surgery after embolization is a possible treatment for sacral GCTBS. Denosumab therapy with or without embolization is indicated for inoperable pelvic, spinal, and sacral GCTBs. It is recommended to first observe lung metastases, then administer denosumab for growing lesions. Radiotherapy is associated with a risk of malignant transformation and should be limited to cases where surgery is impossible and denosumab, zoledronic acid, or embolization is not available. Local recurrence after 2 years or more should be indicative of malignant transformation. This review summarizes the treatment approaches for non-malignant and malignant GCTBs.
