Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a fibrous histiocytic tumor originating in the synovial membrane. While cervical TGCT may not be considered a common diagnosis preoperatively because it is relatively rare, it has a high recurrence rate and should be considered. Total resection is preferable, but it can be challenging due to the risk of damaging the vertebral artery.

Article Synopsis
  • Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are aggressive tumors often found in younger individuals, leading to long-term disability and typically managed via surgery, which has its own risks.
  • This review focuses on systemic treatment options, particularly for the diffuse subtype (DT-TGCT), and assesses recent advancements and the historical context of these therapies.
  • Notable progress includes the development of CSF1 receptor-targeting therapies like pexidartinib, paving the way for further research on treatment effectiveness and optimizing patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Pexidartinib is a drug used for treating tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) in patients where surgery isn't an option, and this study looked at the effects of stopping and then restarting the medication.
  • It was a phase 4 global study involving patients who had benefited from pexidartinib, allowing them to either continue treatment or stop with the option to restart later, monitoring their tumor progression and quality of life.
  • Results showed that while about 54.5% of patients who stopped the drug experienced disease progression, none of those who continued treatment saw their condition worsen over a 24-month period.
