Denosumab, an anti-RANKL antibody, induces bone metabolism to a low-turnover bone status by arresting osteoclast activity. Frequent adverse events include infusion reactions, fever and hypocalcaemia but not hypophosphataemia. We report a case of severe hypophosphataemia associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism following denosumab administration in a young boy with recurrent osteosarcoma who was successfully treated with evocalcet.

Background/aims: Pathological evaluation is crucial for diagnosing biliary lesions and determining appropriate treatment strategies. However, tissue sampling via the transpapillary route can be difficult. In this study, we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel tapered-tip sheath system for tissue sampling from biliary strictures.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global health systems, impacting cancer care and potentially increasing cancer mortality, especially among socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals. We aimed to assess changes in cancer mortality from March 1 to December 31, 2020 relative to the same period in 2019, and to examine potential shifts in cancer mortality's social disparities during the same time frame.
Methods: We used nationwide individually linked cancer mortality data from the Belgian National Register, the Census 2011, and the tax register.
