Abstract
This study compiles the main hypotheses involved in the etiopathogenesis of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). A narrative review of the literature was performed. The etiopathogenesis of MRONJ is multifactorial and not fully understood. The main hypothesis considers the disturbance of bone turnover caused by anti-resorptive drugs. Bisphosphonates and denosumab inhibit osteoclast activity through different action mechanisms, accumulating bone microfracture. Other hypotheses also consider oral infection and inflammation, the antiangiogenic effect and soft tissue toxicity of bisphosphonates, and the inhibition of lymphangiogenesis. Knowledge of the current theories for MRONJ is necessary to define future studies and protocols to minimize the incidence of this severe condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the extension of experimentally induced peri-implantitis lesions under various antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fourty-eight albino rats had randomly received the following medications (dual application, n = 8 each): (1) amino-bisphosphonate (zoledronate) (Zo), (2) RANKL inhibitor (denosumab) (De), (3) antiangiogenic (bevacizumab) (Be), (4) Zo+Be, (5) De+Be, or (6) no medication (Co). Ligature- and lipopolysaccharide-induced peri-implantitis lesions were established at 2 maxillary implants over a period of 16 weeks. Histological (e.g., apical extension and surface area of the inflammatory cell infiltrate-aICT, ICT; defect length; defect width; CD68 positive cells) and bone micromorphometric (μCT) outcomes were assessed. The animal was defined as a statistical unit. RESULTS A total of n = 38 animals (Zo = 6, De = 6, Be = 8, Zo + Be = 6, De + Be = 5, Co = 7) were analyzed. ICT's were commonly marked by a positive CD68 antigen reactivity. Comparable median aICT (lowest-Zo: 0.53 mm; highest-Be: 1.22 mm), ICT (lowest-De + Be: 0.00 mm2; highest-Co: 0.49 mm2), defect length (lowest-Zo: 0.90 mm; highest-Co: 1.93 mm) and defect width (lowest-De+Be: 1.27 mm; highest-Be: 1.80 mm) values were noted in all test and control groups. Within an inner (diameter: 0.8 mm) cylindric volume of interest, the bone microstructure did not significantly differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis did not reveal any marked effects of various antiresorptive/ antiangiogenic medications on the extension of experimentally induced peri-implantitis lesions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The extension of peri-implantitis lesions may not be facilitated by the antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications investigated.

Abstract
Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a condition caused by inhibition of the osteoclast activity by the anti-resorptive and anti-angiogenic drugs. Clinically, there is an exposure of the necrotic bone or a fistula which fails to heal for more than 8 weeks. The adjacent soft tissue is inflamed and pus may be present as a result of the secondary infection. To date, there is no consistent biomarker that could aid in the diagnosis of the disease. The aim of this review was to explore the literature on the microRNAs (miRNAs) related to medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw, and to describe the role of each miRNA as a biomarker for diagnostic purpose and others. Its role in therapeutics was also searched. It was shown that miR-21, miR-23a, and miR-145 were significantly different in a study involving multiple myeloma patients as well as in a human-animal study while miR-23a-3p and miR-23b-3p were 12- to 14-fold upregulated compared to the control group in an animal study. The role of the microRNAs in these studies were for diagnostics, predictor of progress of MRONJ and pathogenesis. Apart from its potential diagnostics role, microRNAs have been shown to be bone resorption regulator through miR-21, miR-23a and miR-145 and this could be utilized therapeutically.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15020529. [PMID: 36672478 PMCID: PMC9856493 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15020529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The medical therapy of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is based on the use of targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). These therapies are characterized by multiple endocrine adverse events, but the effect on the bone is still less known. Relatively few case reports or small case series have been specifically focused on TKI and ICI effects on bone metabolism. However, the importance to consider these possible side effects is easily intuitable because the bone is one of the most frequent metastatic sites of RCC. Among TKI used in RCC, sunitinib and sorafenib can cause hypophosphatemia with increased PTH levels and low-normal serum calcium levels. Considering ICI, nivolumab and ipilimumab, which can be used in association in a combination strategy, are associated with an increased risk of hypocalcemia, mediated by an autoimmune mechanism targeted on the calcium-sensing receptor. A fearsome complication, reported for TKI and rarely for ICI, is osteonecrosis of the jaw. Awareness of these possible side effects makes a clinical evaluation of RCC patients on anticancer therapy mandatory, especially if associated with antiresorptive therapy such as bisphosphonates and denosumab, which can further increase the risk of these complications.

Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw in Dental Practice: A Retrospective Analysis of Data from the Milan Cohort. Dent J (Basel) 2022; 10:dj10050089. [PMID: 35621542 PMCID: PMC9139814 DOI: 10.3390/dj10050089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
A retrospective analysis was performed with the aim of understanding whether the risk factors showed in the literature for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) in cancer patients are also relevant in osteoporotic patients taking antiresorptive drugs (ARDs). Data were retrospectively pooled from health records of patients on ARDs who requested a dental visit between January 2006 and April 2020 in the Dental Unit at Fondazione Ca’ Granda IRCCS Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, University of Milan. A total of 434 patients were included. The following variables were collected: sex, age, smoking habit, type of ARD, duration of treatment, route of administration, therapeutic indication, concurrent systemic therapies and pathologies. Statistical analysis confirmed the relevance of chemotherapy, smoking, and immunosuppressive drugs as risk factors. In addition, a higher frequency of MRONJ in osteoporotic patients was reported in our cohort in association with an immunodeficiency disorder of variable origin. In conclusion, the identification of individual risk-profile before dental treatments is crucial for prevention. Anamnesis should include main risk factors, such as immunosuppression, dental extractions, smoking, trauma, and poor dental health. Nevertheless, our suggestion for dental professionals is to conduct a complete medical history of patients who mention long-term per oral therapies with ARDs for osteoporosis. Osteoporotic, as well as cancer patients, may also benefit from periodic monitoring of the ARDs therapy in order to prevent MRONJ.

Abstract
Bone metastatic disease may lead to serious adverse events in patients with cancer. Bone-directed therapies, including bisphosphonates such as pamidronate and zoledronic acid and the human monoclonal antibody denosumab, are currently approved for the prevention of bone-related adverse events. However, despite the benefits of these drugs, they may cause side effects that are mostly associated with dosages and treatment durations. These side effects range from more frequent, mostly mild, and generally self-limited side effects-such as fever, myalgias, arthralgias, and electrolyte imbalances-to less frequent and more severe side effects such as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical femoral fractures. The purpose of this review is to familiarize clinicians with the literature regarding adverse events associated with bone-directed therapies in patients with cancer. It is important to be aware of these possible adverse events and to educate patients about the predisposing factors associated with side effects from bone-directed therapies and the preventive measures necessary to decrease the risk of occurrence.

Abstract
This article discusses relevant information for the dental sector regarding metastatic cancers beyond breast and prostate cancer. Typically, tumour sites such as lung, renal, colorectal, gastrointestinal, thyroid, hepatic and pancreatic cancers are increasingly being referred for bone-targeting agents upon evidence of bone metastases.The current article explores the presenting dental status of these tumour groups on the background of survival outcomes. In addition, the article provides insight towards the complexity in achieving 'dental fitness' and whether 'dental stability' could be an alternative to consider via palliative dentistry in certain cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review was to provide evidence related to the association between non-antiresorptive medications and MRONJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS The following three electronic databases were screened: PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science from December 2020 until April 2021. Two reviewers independently performed the study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment of the included studies. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used for assessing the risk of bias. A meta-analysis was performed for assessing the relationship between MRONJ and non-antiresorptive medications. RESULTS The search strategy retrieved 996 articles. Following removal of duplicates, title, and abstract screening and full-text reading, 58 publications were eligible to be included in the review. A total of 867 cases of MRONJ were included (33% female, 55% male, 12% no gender reported). The mean age of the patients when MRONJ was diagnosed was 61 years (range 19-100 years) and the average time of diagnosis was 10 months following non-antiresorptive drug therapy. Patients with a history of corticosteroids (0.61, 95% CI 0.39, 0.82, p = < 0.001) and chemotherapy (0.59, 95% CI 0.51, 0.67, p = < 0.001) showed the highest significant effect size (ED) compared to the control group for MRONJ occurrence. CONCLUSION A significant association existed between MRONJ and non-antiresorptive drugs. However, considering limited evidence, findings should be interpreted with caution. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The non-antiresorptive drugs might allow the dentist to apply the principle of "drug holiday" following concurrence from the drug prescribing clinician.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a rare but very serious disease that can affect both jaws. It is defined as exposed bone in the maxillofacial region that does not heal within 8 weeks after a health care provider identification. ONJ can occur spontaneously or can be due to drugs like bisphosphonates (BPS) and anti-RANK agents, in patients with no history of external radiation therapy in the craniofacial region. Although in phase 3 trials of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used in thyroid cancer (TC) the ONJ was not reported among the most common side effects, several papers reported the association between ONJ and TKIs, both when they are used alone and in combination with a bisphosphonate. The appearance of an ONJ in a patient with metastatic radio-iodine refractory differentiated TC, treated with zoledronic acid and sorafenib, has put us in front of an important clinical challenge: when a ONJ occurred during TKIs treatment, it really worsens the patients' quality of life. We should consider that in the case of ONJ a TKI discontinuation becomes necessary, and this could lead to a progression of neoplastic disease. The most important aim of this review is to aware the endocrinologists/oncologists dealing with TC to pay attention to this possible side effect of BPS and TKIs, especially when they are used in association. To significantly reduced the risk of ONJ, both preventive measures before initiating not only antiresorptive therapy but also antiangiogenic agents, and regular dental examinations during the treatment should always be proposed.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Introduction
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a known adverse event related to the use of antiresorptive (AR) drugs. More recently, an association between antiangiogenic (AA) drugs and MRONJ has been suggested. This review aimed to investigate the overall prevalence and relative risk of MRONJ in patients treated concurrently with AA and AR agents in comparison with a single AA or AR drug.
Methods
A review protocol was registered with PROSPERO (ID: CRD42020214244). A systematic literature search, study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction were carried out following PRISMA guidelines. Random-effects meta-analysis models were used to summarize relative estimates for the outcomes, namely prevalence and relative risk of MRONJ. Exposure variable included type of drug, specifically AA and AR agents administered either concurrently or individually.
Results
Eleven studies were included in the final qualitative and quantitative syntheses. The overall pooled weighted prevalence of MRONJ with concurrent AA-AR drugs was 6% (95% CI: 3–8%), compared with 0% (95% CI: 0–0%) for AA only and 5% (95% CI: 0–10%) for AR only. However, high heterogeneity was noted among included studies. Retrospective cohort studies showed a higher pooled prevalence of 13% (95% CI: 10–17%) for concurrent AA-AR therapy. The pooled risk ratio for MRONJ revealed a risk with concurrent AA-AR drugs 2.57 times as high as with AR only (95% CI: 0.84–7.87); however, this difference was not statistically significant. Concurrent AA-AR drugs had a risk for MRONJ 23.74 times as high as with AA only (95% CI: 3.71–151.92).
Conclusions
High-quality, representative studies are needed for accurate estimation of relative risk of MRONJ with concurrent AA and AR therapy.

Cancer Patients at Risk for Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw. A Case and Control Study Analyzing Predictors of MRONJ Onset. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10204762. [PMID: 34682884 PMCID: PMC8537110 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10204762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The goal of this investigation was to identify potential risk factors to predict the onset of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Through the identification of the multiple variables positively associated to MRONJ, we aim to write a paradigm for integrated MRONJ risk assessment built on the combined analysis of systemic and local risk factors. The characteristics of a cohort of cancer patients treated with zoledronic acid and/or denosumab were investigated; beyond the set of proven risk factors a new potential one, the intake of new molecules for cancer therapy, was addressed. Registered data were included in univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis in order to individuate significant independent predictors of MRONJ; a propensity score-matching method was performed adjusting by age and sex. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed a significant effect of the parameters number of doses of zoledronic acid and/or denosumab (OR = 1.03; 95% CI = 1.01–1.05; p = 0.008) and chemotherapy (OR = 0.35; 95% CI = 0.17–0.71; p = 0.008). The multiple logistic regression model showed that breast, multiple myeloma, and prostate cancer involved a significantly higher risk compared to lung cancer; a significant effect of the combined variables number of doses of zoledronic acid and/or denosumab (OR = 1.03; 95% CI = 1.01–1.06); p-value = 0.03) and exposure to novel molecule treatment (OR = 34.74; 95% CI = 1.39–868.11; p-value = 0.03) was observed. The results suggest that a risk assessment paradigm is needed for personalized prevention strategies in the light of patient-centered care.

Abstract
Objectives To assess the influence of antiresorptive/antiangiogenic therapy on the spreading of peri-implant infections in the pharyngeal region. Material and methods This analysis was based on tissue biopsies obtained from a total of twenty-five albino rats having either received (1) amino-bisphosphonate (Zoledronate) (Zo) (n=4), (2) RANKL inhibitor (Denosumab) (De) (n=4), (3) antiangiogenic medication (Bevacizumab) (Be) (n=4), (4) Zo+Be (n=3), (5) De+Be (n=5), or (6) no medication (Co) (n=5). Drug administration was repeated at 12 weeks. Chronic-type peri-implant infections were induced at titanium implants located in the upper jaws. The surface area (%) of infiltrated connective tissue (ICT) and CD68-positive cells was assessed within the lateral pharyngeal/retropharyngeal connective tissue zone. Results Mean (±SD) and median ICT% values and CD68 counts were markedly highest in the De+Be (11.10±6.04; 11.81; 95% CI − 3.89; 26.11) and De (5.70±5.06; 6.19; 95% CI − 2.34; 13.75) groups, reaching statistical significance for De CD68 counts over the Co (0.18±0.25; 0.18; 95% CI −2.14; 2.51) group. In both De+Be and De groups, the ICTs were occasionally associated with an ulceration of the epithelial compartment. Conclusions Induced peri-implant infections were not associated with any inflammatory lesions in pharyngeal tissues. While these findings were similar under Zo and Be medication, De and De+Be had a marked effect on ICT and CD68 values. The clinical relevance of these adverse findings needs further investigation.

A Retrospective Case Series Study. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 79:2071-2077. [PMID: 34174218 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2021.05.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Revised: 05/20/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Tooth and root extractions represent trigger factors for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The best healing modality for postextraction sockets is still debated. The aim of the study was to estimate the incidence of MRONJ after extractions whose sockets were left to heal by secondary intention. METHODS A retrospective case series study was performed at the Department of Odontostomatological and Maxillofacial Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome. Only patients who underwent nonsurgical extractions, healed by secondary intention, were included in the study. The following parameters were considered: age, sex, pathologies for which bisphosphonates or other drugs related to MRONJ were prescribed, any local or systemic risk factors, type of drug used, route of administration, number of extractions performed, and number of sessions required to complete the extraction program. The main outcome variable was the occurrence of MRONJ. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS statistical software. RESULTS Two hundred twenty-one patients were treated from 2007 to 2020 with 639 tooth/root extractions. All patients were treated under antibiotic prophylaxis and with anesthesia without vasoconstrictors. No cases of MRONJ occurred. The mean age of patients was 68.02 ± 11.17. Most of the study sample was represented by women (201 = 90.95%) undergoing treatment for osteometabolic pathologies, most frequently postmenopausal osteoporosis. Alendronate was the most frequently prescribed drug, taken mainly orally. Most patients had local and/or systemic risk factors. Each patient had from 1 to 17 tooth/root extractions (mean = 2.87 ± 2.59) during 1 to 4 sessions (mean = 1.41 ± 0.64). Extractions mainly involved single-rooted teeth/roots, equally distributed between the maxilla and mandible. CONCLUSIONS Secondary intention healing after nonsurgical tooth extraction does not seem to predispose to MRONJ. It can be advisable to perform extractions under antibiotic prophylaxis using anesthetics without vasoconstrictors and chlorhexidine mouth rinses in the 7 following days.

Combined Administration of Bisphosphonates, Chemotherapeutic Agents, and/or Targeted Drugs Increases the Risk for Stage 3 Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: A 4-Year Retrospective Study. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:5847429. [PMID: 33123580 PMCID: PMC7584964 DOI: 10.1155/2020/5847429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2020] [Revised: 07/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objectives Patients with stage 3 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) suffer from severe complications. Chemotherapeutic agents and targeted drugs are considered to be associated with the development of MRONJ. However, little is known regarding the association of those agents with stage 3 MRONJ. The purpose of this study is to analyze the comprehensive medication history of patients with advanced-stage MRONJ (stage 2 and stage 3) and evaluate the possible risk factors for stage 3 MRONJ. Patients and Methods. Sixty patients with advanced-stage MRONJ were involved in this retrospective study. Patients with developmental maxillofacial anomalies, previous radiation in the head and neck areas, and jaw bone tumors were excluded from the study. All patients were divided into two groups by their MRONJ stage (stage 2 or stage 3). Demographic and clinical characteristics, comprehensive medication data (bisphosphonates, chemotherapeutic agents, targeted drugs, and immunosuppressive agents), and results of serological biomarkers were recorded and compared between two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed by SPSS 25.0 for evaluating risk factors of stage 3 MRONJ. Results Our results indicate that chemotherapy (adjusted OR = 3.43; 95% CI: 1.03 to 11.38), targeted drugs (adjusted OR = 3.69; 95% CI: 1.06 to 12.80), and maxillary lesions (adjusted OR = 4.26; 95% CI: 1.19 to 15.23) increase the risk of stage 3 MRONJ. Conclusion The outcome of this study justifies that chemotherapeutic agents and targeted drugs are probably risk factors for stage 3 MRONJ. In addition, the osteonecrosis in maxilla is more easily to develop into stage 3 MRONJ. Intense clinical observation is recommended in MRONJ patients with maxillary osteonecrosis and in those who concurrently administered bisphosphonates, chemotherapeutic agents, and/or targeted drugs. This trial is registered with ChiCTR2000032428.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is an oral complication in cancer patients being treated with either antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs. The first reports of MRONJ were published in 2003. Hundreds of manuscripts have been published in the medical and dental literature describing the complication, clinical and radiographic signs and symptoms, possible pathophysiology, and management. Despite this extensive literature, the pathobiological mechanisms by which medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw develops have not yet been fully delineated. The aim of this manuscript is to present current knowledge about the complication ragarding to the definition, known risk factors, and clinical management recommendations. Based on this current state of the science, we also propose research directions that have potential to enhance the management of future oncology patients who are receiving these agents.

Abstract
Patients affected by gastroenteropancreatic–neuroendocrine tumors (GEP–NETs) have an increased risk of developing osteopenia and osteoporosis, as several factors impact on bone metabolism in these patients. In fact, besides the direct effect of bone metastasis, bone health can be affected by hormone hypersecretion (including serotonin, cortisol, and parathyroid hormone-related protein), specific microRNAs, nutritional status (which in turn could be affected by medical and surgical treatments), and vitamin D deficiency. In patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), a hereditary syndrome associated with NET occurrence, bone damage may carry other consequences. Osteoporosis may negatively impact on the quality of life of these patients and can increment the cost of medical care since these patients usually live with their disease for a long time. However, recommendations suggesting screening to assess bone health in GEP–NET patients are missing. The aim of this review is to critically analyze evidence on the mechanisms that could have a potential impact on bone health in patients affected by GEP–NET, focusing on vitamin D and its role in GEP–NET, as well as on factors associated with MEN1 that could have an impact on bone homeostasis.

Abstract
Bone is a major site of haematogenous tumour cell spread in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and most patients with RCC will develop painful and functionally disabling bone metastases at advanced disease stages. The prognosis of these patients is generally poor and the treatment is, therefore, aimed at palliation. However, RCC-associated bone metastases can be curable in select patients. Current data support a multimodal management strategy that includes wide resection of lesions, radiotherapy, systemic therapy, and other local treatment options, which can improve quality of life and survival. Nevertheless, the optimal approach for metastatic bone disease in RCC has not yet been defined and practical recommendations are rare. To improve the management and outcomes of patients with RCC and bone metastases, the International Kidney Cancer Coalition and the interdisciplinary working group on renal tumours of the German Cancer Society convened a meeting of experts with a global perspective to perform an unstructured review and elaborate on current treatment strategies on the basis of published data and expertise. The panel formulated recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with RCC and metastasis to the bone. Furthermore, the experts summarized current challenges and unmet patient needs that should be addressed in the future. In this Expert Consensus, Grünwald et al. summarize their recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma and metastasis to the bone. They also outline current challenges and unmet patient needs that should be addressed in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present the first case of osteonecrosis of the external auditory canal associated with sorafenib treatment. PATIENT 58-year-old patient with right-sided otorrhea and otalgia was treated for otitis externa for 1 month without improvement. Otoscopic examination revealed a large defect in the inferior wall of the tympanic bone filled with skin debris and bony fragments. Previous medical history included treatment with sorafenib for metastatic renal cell cancer; he had never been exposed to radiotherapy. Computed tomography of the temporal bone showed a large right external auditory canal bony erosion with involvement of the tympanic bone and bony sequestra extending to the mastoid cells and temporomandibular joint. Histologic examination revealed necrotic bone and inflammatory changes with no signs of malignancy. A diagnosis of osteonecrosis of external auditory canal was made. INTERVENTION Right subtotal petrosectomy with obliteration of surgical cavity with abdominal fat was performed. RESULTS Final histological report revealed avascular necrosis of the bone with perivascular lymphocitic infiltration of the soft tissues. Diagnosis of medication-related external auditory canal osteonecrosis was confirmed. CONCLUSION Medication-related osteonecrosis of the temporal bone is not a well-known entity among otolaryngologists and could therefore be misclassified as another diagnosis. In patients with othorrea and earache following sorafenib treatment, temporal bone osteonecrosis should be suspected.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe complication of bisphosphonates (BPs) or other targeted agent therapies. MRONJ appears as exposed bone, pus, and swelling in the oral and maxillofacial regions. However, neither surgery nor conservative therapy can eliminate symptoms thoroughly. In addition to BPs, several antiresorptive and antiangiogenic agents, such as denosumab and bevacizumab, as well as targeted agents, such as sunitinib and temsirolimus, can cause osteonecrosis of the jaw according to the literature. This review aims to summarize the research progress on these new drugs.

Abstract
Background Tyrosine kinase receptor family is involved in tumor growth, pathological angiogenesis and the progression (metastasis) of cancer. Sunitinib (Sutent®) inhibits members of the tyrosine kinase receptor family affecting the induction of angiogenesis and tumor progression. It is not clear if sunitinib increases the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ). The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review about ONJ related to sunitinib, describing existing cases and possible associated risk factors. Material and Methods The PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases were searched without date restriction up to September 2018. We included prospective and retrospective observational studies, cross-sectional studies, clinical cases and series of cases, involving only human subjects. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and Newcastle-Ottawa tools. Results A total of 13 studies fulfilled our inclusion criteria of which 7 were clinical cases, 5 case series and a retrospective study. All the articles were published between 2009 and 2018. Of the 102 patients treated with sunitinib analyzed in this study, 58 developed ONJ, being or having been treated with sunitinib and bisphosphonates or exclusively with sunitinib. Conclusions In this systematic review, we found an increase of ONJ in patients who are medicated with other drugs different than bisphosphonates and denosumab. It is necessary that dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons as well as oncologists know the risk of ONJ that these antiresorptive drugs could have. There is a need to continue researching in this field with the aim of an increasing knowledge in this area and creating an adequate protocol of action for this population. Key words:Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws, osteonecrosis of the jaws, sunitinib, systematic review.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION No official guidelines are available for the management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MR-ONJ). The additional benefit of surgery after pharmacological treatment is debated by both clinicians and patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in patients' MR-ONJ-related quality of life (QoL) after pharmacological treatment with or without surgery in a large cohort affected by MR-ONJ. METHODS Anonymized data on patients diagnosed with MR-ONJ were extracted from the database of the Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Treatment Center (University of Messina, Italy) in the years 2005-2015. QoL was evaluated at the moment of MR-ONJ diagnoses (T0), after pharmacological treatment with or without surgery (T1 and T2, respectively), based on scores from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QOL Module for Head and Neck Cancer (global oral health status [GOHS]) and a visual analog scale (VAS), stratified by indication for use. RESULTS Among 100 patients, 36% were affected by osteoporosis (OSTEO group) and 64% were affected by cancer (ONC group). Considering T0, QoL scores were higher in the OSTEO group then in the ONC group. At T1, GOHS and VAS increased in both groups (OSTEO group: +9.9% and +39.9%; ONC group: +35.4 and +97.2%, respectively). Pharmacological treatment was effective in reducing pain (OSTEO group: -22.0%; ONC group: -44.8%), and social contact troubles (OSTEO group: -40.3%; ONC group: -26.7%). At T2, GOHS and VAS further increased. Scores related to 'pain' and the troubles related to the 'social dimension' also decreased (OSTEO group: -91.3% and -72.0%; ONC group: 50.8% and -16.4%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS MR-ONJ-related QoL increased after pharmacological treatment and, more notably, after surgery, which may offer benefits to selected patients. QoL data may help clinicians in promoting tailored management of MR-ONJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND About one-third of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have detectable metastases at diagnosis. Among them, bone is the second most frequent metastatic site. Treatment of metastatic RCC mostly relies on anti-angiogenic (AA) therapies and, more recently, immunotherapy. Skeletal-related events (SREs) can be prevented with bone-targeted therapies such as denosumab (Dmab), which has demonstrated superiority when compared with zoledronic acid in solid tumors. However, there is limited available data on Dmab toxicity in combination with AA therapies in patients with kidney cancer. The objective of this study was to retrospectively analyze the toxicity profile (mainly osteonecrosis of the jaw [ONJ] and hypocalcemia) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with Dmab and AA therapy combination. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study among centers from the French Groupe d'Etudes des Tumeurs Uro Genitales (GETUG). Patients with bone metastases who received concurrently or sequentially AA therapy and Dmab were included in this study. RESULTS A total of 41 patients with mRCC were enrolled. Although no patient presented with severe hypocalcemia, ONJ occurred in 7 (17%) of 41 patients. Interestingly, all patients with ONJ received the Dmab and AA combination in the first line of treatment; among these patients, 3 patients had no risk factor other than the Dmab and AA combination. CONCLUSION The incidence of ONJ was high in this real-life population of patients with mRCC treated with AA therapies combined with Dmab. This toxicity signal should warn physicians about this combination in the mRCC population.

Abstract
This report describes a case of osteonecrosis of the jaw developing after a routine dental extraction in a patient being treated with dasatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, for chronic myelogenous leukemia. As the role of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in cancer treatment expands, patterns of debilitating complications involving the osseous structures of the oral cavity have begun to emerge, and many long-term side effects of this promising therapy remain unknown. To limit the occurrence of known complications, health care providers and patients must be aware of the potential for serious complications of dasatinib, and appropriate protocols should be in place before administration of this medication.

Could the Combined Administration of Bone Antiresorptive Drug, Taxanes, and Corticosteroids Worsen Medication Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws in Cancer Patients? BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:4021952. [PMID: 30003097 PMCID: PMC5996467 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4021952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2017] [Revised: 03/25/2018] [Accepted: 04/16/2018] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
The study presents a report of 58 metastatic cancer patients who developed osteonecrosis of the jaws after being treated with zoledronic acid and taxanes, plus corticosteroids. A retrospective analysis of data registered in the archives of two Italian osteonecrosis of the jaws treatment centers, who are based at the University of Messina and at the University of Palermo, was performed in order to study, in these patients, demographic data and characteristics such as frequency of cancer location, lines of therapy, frequency of cancer drugs, presence/absence of oral trigger, number, location, and stage of jaw osteonecrosis. It was found that the majority of patients developed advanced stages of osteonecrosis, frequently complicated with infection. It was hypothesized that the concurrent administration of chemotherapeutic agents could be eventually considered as a factor able to allow a faster worsening of the clinical manifestation through the exacerbation of soft tissue defects, due to chemotherapy drugs.

Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Associated with Antiangiogenics in Antiresorptive-Naïve Patient: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:8071579. [PMID: 29850569 PMCID: PMC5937620 DOI: 10.1155/2018/8071579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2017] [Accepted: 03/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Objectives To review the available literature on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) associated with antiangiogenics in antiresorptive-naïve individuals. Methods A literature search was performed using MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science in December 2017. Results We identified reports describing a total of 35 antiresorptive drugs-naïve patients who developed antiangiogenic-related MRONJ. The mean age of these patients was 59.06 years and the F : M ratio was 4 : 5. The most common underlying disease was metastatic renal cell cancer. Pain to the mandible was the most common complaint (34.29%) and the majority of patients presented with bone exposure. The mean duration of intravenous and oral antiangiogenics before MRONJ development was 6.5 and 16.72 months, respectively. The most common additional risk factor was dental extraction (37.14%). Almost half of the MRONJ patients (48.57%) received surgical treatment. 18 patients (62.06%) were reported to have disease resolution within an average time of 6.75 months. Conclusion MRONJ associated with antiangiogenic therapy in antiresorptive-naïve patients is a rare but potentially serious adverse effect. Available data suggests that there might be notable differences between MRONJ associated with antiangiogenics and antiresorptives; however, further prospective well-designed studies are required.

Abstract
Introduction Sorafenib is an oral multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor and is currently the only evidence-based treatment recommended for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. We report a case of osteonecrosis of the jaw that occurred during sorafenib therapy in a patient with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma not treated with bisphosphonates or other antiangiogenic drugs. Methods A systematic search in PubMed yielded some cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients treated with antiangiogenic agents, alone or in combination with bisphosphonates, for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The only case of osteonecrosis observed during sorafenib therapy not combined with other predisposing agents was described by Guillet et al. Results A 74-year-old man diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma ensuing in hepatitis C virus infection, who was treated with sorafenib at a daily dose of 400 mg, developed osteonecrosis of the right mandibular body. The lesion was documented by a dental CT scan and surgical evaluation did not lead to an indication for curettage treatment. Sorafenib was discontinued because of the radiological and laboratory features of hepatocellular carcinoma progression and the high risk of jaw fracture. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first description of osteonecrosis of the jaw detected in a cirrhotic patient on sorafenib therapy not combined with bisphosphonates.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) is a severe bone disease for which the pathogenetic mechanisms and risk factors are not fully understood. The present study evaluated the data of 652 patients with bone metastasis that had undergone treatment with biphosphonates. Subsequently, 24 patients with BRONJ and 20 control patients without BRONJ that were treated with zoledronic acid were enrolled. It was found that BRONJ occurred in 3.6% of patients. The mean age and the administration of dental treatment were found to be significantly associated with BRONJ development (P=0.049 and P=0.013, respectively). The cumulative dose median in the BRONJ group was found to be significantly higher compared with the cumulative dose average in the control group (P=0.037). In addition, at the time of BRONJ development, improvement in the disease was determined to be better in the BRONJ group than in the control group (P=0.031). The present study determined that age, the existence of dental extraction and the cumulative dose of zoledronate were all important risk factors in BRONJ development.
