- Giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) is a rare benign tumor that mainly affects young adults (ages 20-40) and is classified as an intermediate malignant tumor by the WHO, with its pathology linked to the expression of RANKL.
- A study conducted over 36 months at a military hospital investigated the effects of preoperative denosumab therapy on GCTB patients, measuring pain and functional status before and after treatment.
- Results showed significant improvement in pain and function, shifting the intended surgical approach from more invasive procedures like joint resection to less aggressive options such as intralesional curettage post-denosumab therapy.
