Abstract
Primary bone tumors such as Ewing sarcoma, osteosarcoma, and chondrosarcoma, secondary bone tumors developed from progressive malignancies, and metastasized bone tumors are more prevalent and studied descriptively through biology and medical research. Less than 0.2% of cancer diagnoses are caused by rare bone-originating tumors, which despite being rare are particularly difficult due to their high death rates and substantial disease burden. A giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is an intramurally invasive but rare and benign type of bone tumor, which seldom metastasizes. The most often prescribed medication for GCTB is Denosumab, a RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand) inhibitor. Because pharmaceutical drug companies rely on two-dimensional and animal models, current approaches for investigating the diverse nature of tumors are insufficient. Cell line based medication effectiveness and toxicity studies cannot predict tumor response to antitumor medicines. It has already been investigated in detail why molecular pathways do not reproduce in vitro, a phenomenon known as flat biology. Due to physiological differences between human beings and animals, animal models do not succeed in identifying side effects of the treatment, emulating metastatic growth, and establishing the link between cancer and the immune system. This review summarizes and discusses GCTB, the disease, its cellular composition, various bone tumor models, and their properties and utilization in research. As a result, this study delves deep into in vitro testing, which is vital for scientists and physicians in various fields, including pharmacology, preclinical investigations, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.

Yudistira A, Aslam ABN, Asmiragani S, Satriawan E, Airlangga G. Single staged en-bloc sacrectomy in giant cell tumor of sacrum using pre-operative embolization: A case report. Int J Surg Case Rep 2023; 107:108324. [PMID: 37224722 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2023.108324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell tumor (GCT) is a benign tumor with progressive and destructive characteristics involving metaphysis, with extension to the epiphyseal tissue, en-bloc resection surgery is the main choice for surgical treatment. IMPORTANCE Our case report will discuss en bloc resection with pre-operative embolization for treating GCT in the sacrum to reduce the incidence of intraoperative bleeding. CASE PRESENTATION A 33-year-old woman complained of low back pain radiating to the left leg that had been present for one year. Lumbosacral X-ray examination revealed a destructive osteolytic lesion involving the sacrum I-III and left iliac bones surrounded by soft tissue mass. The surgery on the patient 24 h later included installing posterior pedicle screw instrumentation on the 3rd and 4th lumbar, iliac screw, and using bone cement. After that, we performed a curettage on the mass and filled it with a bone graft. DISCUSSION Non-surgical GCT management is effective but has a high local recurrence rate when used alongside curettage. Intralesional resection and en bloc resection are the most common surgical treatments. GCT with pathological fractures requires more invasive procedures, such as en-bloc resection, but excision can be performed to minimize surgical complications. Arterial embolization is a curative therapy for GCT sacral tumors. CONCLUSION En-bloc resection with pre-operative arterial embolization for treating GCT can reduce the incidence of intraoperative bleeding.

Complications and prognosis of primary thoracic and lumbar giant cell tumors treated by total tumor resection. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:281. [PMID: 37046246 PMCID: PMC10091566 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06347-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal giant cell tumor (SGCT) is a relatively rare primary tumor. En bloc resection is the preferred surgical procedure for it due to its aggressiveness, meanwhile leading to more complications. We reported the characteristics of perioperative complications and local control of total tumor resection including en bloc resection and piecemeal resection for primary thoracic and lumbar spinal giant cell tumors in a single center over 10 years. METHODS This is a retrospective cross-sectional and cohort study. Forty-one consecutive patients with SGCTs who underwent total tumor resection from 2010 to 2020 at our institution and were followed up for at least 24 months were reviewed. Surgery data, complication characteristics and local tumor control were collected and compared by different surgical procedure. RESULTS Forty-one patients were included, consisting of 18 males and 23 females, with a mean age of 34.2 years. Thirty-one had thoracic vertebra lesions, and 10 had lumbar vertebra lesions. Thirty-five patients were primary cases, and 6 patients were recurrent cases. Eighteen patients were treated by total en bloc spondylectomy (TES), 12 patients underwent en bloc resection according to WBB surgical system, and 11 patients underwent piecemeal resection. The average surgical time was 498 min, and the mean estimated blood loss was 2145 ml. A total of 58 complications were recorded, and 30 patients (73.2%) had at least one perioperative complication. All patients were followed up after surgery for at least 2 years. A total of 6 cases had postoperative internal fixation failure, and 4 cases presented local tumor recurrence (9.8%). CONCLUSIONS Although the surgical technique is difficult and accompanied by a high rate of perioperative complications, en bloc resection can achieve favorable local control in SGCT. When it is too difficult to complete en bloc resection, thoroughly piecemeal resection without residual is also acceptable, given the relatively low recurrence rate.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of these recommendations is to spread the available evidence for evaluating and managing spinal tumours among clinicians who encounter such entities. METHODS The recommendations were developed by members of the Development Recommendations Group representing seven stakeholder scientific societies and organizations of specialists involved in various forms of care for patients with spinal tumours in Poland. The recommendations are based on data yielded from systematic reviews of the literature identified through electronic database searches. The strength of the recommendations was graded according to the North American Spine Society's grades of recommendation for summaries or reviews of studies. RESULTS The recommendation group developed 89 level A-C recommendations and a supplementary list of institutions able to manage primary malignant spinal tumours, namely, spinal sarcomas, at the expert level. This list, further called an appendix, helps clinicians who encounter spinal tumours refer patients with suspected spinal sarcoma or chordoma for pathological diagnosis, surgery and radiosurgery. The list constitutes a basis of the network of expertise for the management of primary malignant spinal tumours and should be understood as a communication network of specialists involved in the care of primary spinal malignancies. CONCLUSION The developed recommendations together with the national network of expertise should optimize the management of patients with spinal tumours, especially rare malignancies, and optimize their referral and allocation within the Polish national health service system.

Wrist Reconstruction Using Free Vascularized Fibular Head Graft Following Intralesional Excision for Campanacci Grade 3 Giant Cell Tumors Involving the Articular Surface of the Distal Radius. J Hand Surg Am 2022; 47:1231.e1-1231.e6.

Abstract
Reconstruction with a free vascularized fibular head graft after en bloc excision of a Campanacci grade 3 giant cell tumor of bone in the distal radius can effectively control local recurrence. However, it leads to the loss of wrist movement, subsequent radiocarpal subluxation, and an osteoarthritic change. Another treatment option for grade 3 lesions is intralesional excision and cementation, which preserves wrist movement but does not restore the articular surface. We report a case of wrist reconstruction using a free vascularized fibular head graft after the intralesional excision of a Campanacci grade 3 giant cell tumor of bone with invasion of the articular surface of the distal radius. In patients with this type of a lesion, wrist reconstruction using a free vascularized fibular head graft after intralesional excision can help prevent local tumor recurrence, restore the articular surface, and maintain movements of the wrist joint.

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
Zoledronic acid is a bisphosphonate that has recently gained interest in adjuvant therapy for giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). It has an apoptotic effect on osteoclasts that are precursors of GCTB. However, the evidence suggesting the role of zoledronic acid in preventing GCTB recurrence is mixed, and therefore, a consensus is yet to be established. The purpose of the current meta-analysis was to analyze the impact of zoledronic acid supplementation on tumor recurrence in surgical treated GCTB. A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify studies that analyzed the impact of local or systemic zoledronic acid supplementation on clinical outcomes in surgically treated GCTB. The data from the comparative studies were pooled and analyzed to investigate the association of zoledronic acid supplementation with tumor recurrence. Additionally, other factors such as age, gender, soft tissue extension, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement application, recurrent presentation, and extended curettage were also investigated for any association with tumor recurrence. Of the 271 results, 13 unique studies reported the clinical outcomes in GCTB. Seven studies compared the outcomes of zoledronic acid supplementation with control groups. Six studies presented the tumor recurrence-related data among the comparison groups. The zoledronic acid supplementation was associated with significantly lower tumor recurrence rates (p = 0.007). Additionally, a significant association of soft tissue extension and non-usage of PMMA cement with tumor recurrence were observed. The current meta-analysis suggests that zoledronic acid supplementation reduces tumor recurrence rates in surgically treated GCTB. We, therefore, recommend the use of zoledronic acid following aggressive extended curettage of the tumor. Further, well-planned randomized controlled trials will help strengthen this evidence.

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.

Abstract
Giant cell tumour of the bone (GCTB) has been classically treated surgically. With the advent of denosumab, there is potential to use it as a targeted therapy to downstage the tumour and control its progression. Like all new therapies, the dosage, duration, and long-term effects of treatment can only be determined over the time through numerous trials and errors. The current recommendation of use of the monoclonal antibody is 3-4 months of neoadjuvant denosumab in patients with advanced GCTB for cases who were not candidates for primary curettage initially, and prolonged use for surgically unsalvageable GCTB. The use of Denosumab in the adjuvant setting to prevent recurrence is not established.

Abstract
Background: In the treatment of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), the efficacy and safety of denosumab, a receptor activator nuclear factor κ-B ligand inhibitor, has previously been demonstrated, especially for unresectable tumors. One of the current issues in denosumab treatment for unresectable GCTB is whether it can be discontinued, or whether the dosage or the dosing interval can safely be adjusted, if discontinuation is not possible, to avoid the occurrence of side effects. Case Description: A 15-year-old boy with diplopia was referred to our hospital after a space-occupying lesion in the sphenoid bone was found on head CT. Partial removal of the tumor was performed through an endoscopic endonasal approach, and pathological diagnosis was confirmed as GCTB. Thereafter, the patient received 120 mg subcutaneous injections of denosumab every 28 days for the first 2 years. Since bone formation was induced and sustained along with tumor reduction, the dosing interval was gradually extended, with 4 monthly dosing for the next 1 year, followed by 6 monthly dosing for the succeeding 2 years. With the extension of the dosing interval, the ossified tumor has regrown slightly, but within an acceptable range. Conclusion: Discontinuation of denosumab treatment for unresectable GCTB was not thought to be possible for the current case due to the nature of the drug, as reported in the literature. Extending the dosing interval up to 6 monthly, as could be done safely in the current case, can be considered a useful and appropriate measure.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) is an intermediate, locally aggressive primary bone tumour. In addition to local therapy, new drugs became available for this disease. Denosumab, a receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B-ligand inhibitor, was introduced as systemic targeted therapy for advanced or inoperable and metastatic GCTB. Also, the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid has activity in GCTB by directly targeting the neoplastic stromal cells. RECENT FINDINGS In a small RCT, bisphosphonates were successful in controlling tumour growth and a higher apoptotic index of tumour cells was seen after zoledronic acid versus controls. Although bisphosphonate-loaded bone cement has not been studied to a large extent, it does not seem harmful and may constitute a logical local adjuvant. From the largest clinical trial to date, the risk-to-benefit ratio for denosumab in patients with advanced GCTB remains favourable, also in facilitating less morbid surgery. Concerns have arisen that recurrence rates would be higher than after conventional treatment, ranging from 20 to 100% in a systematic review, although this may be because of bias. H3F3A (G34W) driver mutations are helpful in the differentiation between GCTB and other giant cell-containing malignancies. H3.3-G34W proved sufficient to drive tumourigenesis. The cumulative incidence of malignancy in GCTB is estimated at 4%, of which primary malignancy 1.6% and secondary malignancy 2.4%, the latter mainly after radiation. To date, a potential causal relationship between denosumab and pulmonary metastases has not been confirmed; if they do not behave indolently, it would be advised to reassess diagnosis and consider malignancy. SUMMARY Denosumab remains a highly effective treatment option for patients with advanced GCTB. A short duration of 2-4 months neoadjuvant denosumab is advised to facilitate less morbid surgery and prevent incomplete curettage by macroscopic tumour alterations. Reduced dose intensity is being studied to reduce long term side-effects. Further research on bisphosphonates and other targets including H3.3-G34W remains warranted.

Abstract
Introduction: Giant cell tumour (GCT) of the bone is a benign tumour with a high tendency to recur after surgery. This study aimed to analyse prospectively the rate of local recurrence following management of giant cell tumours by curettage, using intravenous zoledronic acid as an adjuvant, and fibular struts to support the empty cavity after curettage. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in ten cases of biopsy-proven GCTs: five males and five females, in the age group between 18 and 39 years. All patients were given three doses of zoledronic acid, one pre-operative and two post-operative. Extended curettage was done three weeks after the pre-operative dose of zoledronate. The cavity was left empty in all the cases. Fibular struts were used to support the cavity from collapse. Patients were followed-up for post-operative local recurrence. The functional status of the patients was assessed during each visit using the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) score. Results: There were no recurrences at a follow-up of two years. All patients had a stable knee and were able to bear weight fully. The average knee flexion was 75º. The average MSTS score of the study was 92%. Conclusion: Extended curettage using hydrogen peroxide, systemic zoledronic acid adjuvant and leaving the cavity empty without using cancellous bone graft did not lead to a recurrence of GCT. Non-vascularised fibular strut provided adequate support while the cavity left empty after curettage did not collapse and there was good knee function.

Abstract
The therapeutic strategies proposed currently for bone sarcomas are based on neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, delayed en-bloc wide resection, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Unfortunately, bone sarcomas are characterized by high rates of poor drug response, with a high risk of drug resistance, local recurrence and/or a high propensity for induced metastases. The pathogenesis of bone sarcomas is strongly associated with dysregulation of local bone remodeling and increased osteolysis that plays a part in tumor development. In this context, bisphosphonates (BPs) have been proposed as a single agent or in combination with conventional drugs to block bone resorption and the vicious cycle established between bone and sarcoma cells. Pre-clinical in vitro studies revealed the potential "anti-tumor" activities of nitrogen-bisphosphonates (N-BPs). In pre-clinical models, N-BPs reduced significantly primary tumor growth in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, and the installation of lung metastases. In chondrosarcoma, N-BPs reduced the recurrence of local tumors after intralesional curettage, and increased overall survival. In pediatric and adult osteosarcoma patients, N-BPs have been assessed in combination with conventional chemotherapy and surgery in randomized phase 3 studies with no improvement in clinical outcome. The lack of benefit may potentially be explained by the biological impact of N-BPs on macrophage differentiation/recruitment which may alter CD8+-T lymphocyte infiltration. Thanks to their considerable affinity for the mineralized extracellular matrix, BPs are an excellent platform for drug delivery in malignant bone sites with reduced systemic toxicity, which opens up new opportunities for their future use.

Abstract
Purpose of review Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is an uncommon benign primary bone tumor, consisting of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK) expressing reactive osteoclast-like giant cells and neoplastic spindle-shaped cells. Denosumab was approved by FDA in 2013 and by EMA in 2014 to treat adults and skeletally mature adolescents with unresectable GCTB or when resection is likely to result in severe morbidity. However, there is much discussion regarding the optimal applied treatment strategy. Recent findings Neoadjuvant treatment of GCTB with denosumab can effectively downstage tumors to facilitate less morbid surgery or completely avoid the need for resection, but there is concern about local recurrence postsurgery. Definitive treatment of unresectable GTCB improves symptoms and halts tumor progression. The optimal treatment duration is unclear and long-term treatment is associated with adverse events like osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and atypical femoral fractures. Denosumab maintenance dose interval is currently being investigated. Summary For the related but heterogenous group of giant cell rich tumors of bone, like aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) and central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), denosumab is a new treatment modality under investigation. Given the effectiveness in GCTB, this could be a promising treatment option for selected patients with advanced disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Denosumab is Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL) inhibitor which is being used in the treatment of locally advanced, recurrent and metastatic Giant Cell Tumor of Bone (GCTB). It causes reduction in monocyte recruitment and Osteoclast-Like Giant Cell (OLGC) formation which limits bone destruction. After Denosumab treatment, GCTB exhibit diverse morphological features which can pose diagnostic challenge. Our aim was to study the spectrum of histologic features seen in Denosumab treated GCTB which could be helpful in establishing correct diagnosis. METHODS We retrieved and reviewed H&E stained microscopic glass slides of 38 GCTB cases who received Denosumab as neoadjuvant treatment. These cases were treated at different institutes and diagnosed at our institute between January 2017 and October 2019. Morphologic features such as presence of residual OLGC, appearances of mononuclear stromal and bony components were assessed along with other non-specific features. RESULTS Patients' median age was 29 years. Male to female ratio was 1.53:1. Femur was the most commonly involved bone. Microscopically, peripheral shell of reactive bone was observed in all cases. In 20 (52.6%) cases, there was complete elimination of OLGC. Mononuclear stromal cells were predominantly bland spindle shaped and arranged in fascicular and storiform patterns. Focal atypia was noted in 3 cases. Bony component manifested as trabeculae of woven bone with osteoblastic rimming and immature trabeculae of unmineralized osteoid with haphazardly present osteoblasts. Spectrum of stromal changes included cystic spaces, foamy macrophages, inflammatory infiltrate, hemangiopericytoma-like (HPC-like) vessels, hyalinization, edematous areas and hemosiderin pigment. The tumors showed areas which resembled other bony and soft tissue lesions such non-ossifying fibroma, fibrous dysplasia, osteoblastoma, sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma and osteosarcoma. CONCLUSION Denosumab treatment induces a variety of changes in GCTB. Clinical history and knowledge of these features are necessary for excluding differential diagnoses and avoiding misdiagnosis.

Abstract
Lessons Learned. Adjuvant treatment with zoledronic acid did not decrease the recurrence rate of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) in this study. The efficacy could not be determined because of the small sample size. GCTB recurrences, even in the denosumab era, are still an issue; therefore, a randomized study exploring the efficacy of zoledronic acid in the adjuvant setting in GCTB is still valid.
Background. Bisphosphonates are assumed to inhibit giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB)‐associated osteoclast activity and have an apoptotic effect on the neoplastic mononuclear cell population. The primary objective of this study was to determine the 2‐year recurrence rate of high‐risk GCTB after adjuvant zoledronic acid versus standard care. Methods. In this multicenter randomized open‐label phase II trial, patients with high‐risk GCTB were included (December 2008 to October 2013). Recruitment was stopped because of low accrual after the introduction of denosumab. In the intervention group, patients received adjuvant zoledronic acid (4 mg) intravenously at 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after surgery. Results. Fourteen patients were included (intervention n = 8, controls n = 6). Median follow‐up was long: 93.5 months (range, 48–111). Overall 2‐year recurrence rate was 38% (3/8) in the intervention versus 17% (1/6) in the control group (p = .58). All recurrences were seen within the first 15 months after surgery. Conclusion. Adjuvant treatment with zoledronic acid did not decrease the recurrence rate of GCTB in this study. The efficacy could not be determined because of the small sample size. Because recurrences, even in the denosumab era, are still an issue, a randomized study exploring the efficacy of zoledronic acid in the adjuvant setting in GCTB is still valid.

[PMID: 30030174 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.07.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2018] [Revised: 07/09/2018] [Accepted: 07/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Giant Cell Tumors of Bone (GCTB) are benign but aggressive and metastatic tumors. Surgical removal cannot eradicate GCTB due to the subsequent recurrence and osteolysis. Here we developed Zoledronic acid (ZA)-loaded magnesium-strontium (Mg-Sr) alloys that can inhibit GCTB and studied the molecular and cellular mechanisms of such inhibition. We first formed a calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on the Mg-1.5 wt%Sr implants by coprecipitation and then loaded ZA on the CaP coating. We examined the response of GCTB cells to the ZA-loaded alloys. At the cellular level, the alloys not only induced apoptosis and oxidative stress of GCTB cells, and suppressed their resultant pre-osteoclast recruitment, but also inhibited their migration. At the molecular level, the alloys could significantly activate the mitochondrial pathway and inhibit the NF-κB pathway in the GCTB cells. These collectively enable the ZA-loaded alloys to suppress GCTB cell growth and osteolysis, and thus improve our understanding of the materials-induced tumor inhibition. Our study shows that ZA-loaded alloys could be a potential implant in repairing the bone defects after tumor removal in GCTB therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE In clinics, giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB) are removed by surgery. However, the resultant defects in bone still contain aggressive and metastatic GCTB cells that can recruit osteoclasts to damage bone, leading to new GCTB tumor growth and bone damage after tumor surgery. Hence, it is of high demand in developing a material that can not only fill the bone defects as an implant but also inhibit GCTB in the defect area as a therapeutic agent. More importantly, the molecular and cellular mechanism by which such a material inhibits GCTB growth has never been explored. To solve these two problems, we prepared a new biomaterial, the Mg-Sr alloys that were first coated with calcium phosphate and then loaded with a tumor-inhibiting molecule (Zoledronic acid, ZA). Then, by using a variety of molecular and cellular biological assays, we studied how the ZA-loaded alloys induced the death of GCTB cells (derived from patients) and inhibited their growth at the molecular and cellular level. At the cellular level, our results showed that ZA-loaded Mg-Sr alloys not only induced apoptosis and oxidative stress of GCTB cells, and suppressed their induced pre-osteoclast recruitment, but also inhibited their migration. At the molecular level, our data showed that ZA released from the ZA-loaded Mg-Sr alloys could significantly activate the mitochondrial pathway and inhibit the NF-κB pathway in the GCTB cells. Both mechanisms collectively induced GCTB cell death and inhibited GCTB cell growth. This work showed how a biomaterial inhibit tumor growth at the molecular and cellular level, increasing our understanding in the fundamental principle of materials-induced cancer therapy. This work will be interesting to readers in the fields of metallic materials, inorganic materials, biomaterials and cancer therapy.

Abstract
Bone sarcomas are tumours belonging to the family of mesenchymal tumours and constitute a highly heterogeneous tumour group. The three main bone sarcomas are osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and chondrosarcoma each subdivided in diverse histological entities. They are clinically characterised by a relatively high morbidity and mortality, especially in children and adolescents. Although these tumours are histologically, molecularly and genetically heterogeneous, they share a common involvement of the local microenvironment in their pathogenesis. This review gives a brief overview of their specificities and summarises the main therapeutic advances in the field of bone sarcoma.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effectiveness of expanded curettage in the treatment of chondroblastoma. Methods The clinical data of 37 patients with chondroblastoma who were treated with expanded curettage between January 2011 and May 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 24 males and 13 females, with a median age of 17 years (range, 12-30 years). There were 32 primary patients and 5 recurrent patients. Local pain was the first symptom in all patients. The average disease duration was 4.9 months (range, 2-8 months). The lesions were located in the distal femur in 10 cases, the proximal femur in 7 cases, the proximal tibia in 9 cases, the proximal humerus in 5 cases, the patella in 2 cases, the talus in 1 case, the calcaneus in 1 case, and pelvis in 2 cases. According to the Enneking staging of benign bone tumors, all tumors were rated as the 3rd stage. The length of the lesion ranged from 1.2 to 6.9 cm (mean, 3.2 cm). The lesions involved the epiphyseal plate in 19 cases. Results All incisions healed by first intention, and no complications occurred. All patients were followed up 12-76 months, with an average of 40.5 months. At last follow-up, the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 27.5±1.4, and the difference was significant when compared with pre-operative value (18.5±1.9) ( t=23.462, P=0.000). The chondroblastoma recurred in 1 case (2.7%) after 5 months. X-ray film showed that bone resorption was found in 6 cases, but there was no obvious collapse in the articular surface of bone graft. The limb shortening deformity occurred in 3 cases who were epiphyseal plate involvement patients and lesions located around the knee joint. But there was no varus deformity, and knee joint activity was not affected. Conclusion Expanded curettage has advantages of low incidence of recurrence and skeletal deformity, good limb function, and it is one of the ideal options for chondroblastoma.

In Vitro Study of the Effects of Denosumab on Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: Comparison with Zoledronic Acid. Pathol Oncol Res 2017; 25:409-419.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive primary bone tumor that contains numerous osteoclasts formed from marrow-derived precursors through receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand (RANKL), an osteoclast differentiation factor expressed in neoplastic cells of GCTB. Denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting RANKL, has recently been used for the treatment of GCTB, and superior treatment effects have been reported. The aim of this work was to elucidate the mechanism of action of denosumab, and the differences between denosumab and zoledronic acid at the level of GCTB cells. We isolated GCTB cells from 3 patients and separated them into osteoclasts, osteoclast precursors and proliferating spindle-shaped stromal cells (the true neoplastic component), and examined the action of denosumab on differentiation, survival and bone resorption activity of osteoclasts. Denosumab and zoledronic acid inhibited osteoclast differentiation from mononuclear cells containing osteoclast precursors. Zoledronic acid inhibited osteoclast survival, whereas an inhibitory effect of denosumab on osteoclast survival was not observed. The inhibitory effect on bone resorption by both agents was confirmed in culture on dentin slices. Furthermore, zoledronic acid showed dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth of neoplastic cells whereas denosumab had no inhibitory effect on these cells. Denosumab has an inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation, but no inhibitory effects on survival of osteoclasts or growth of neoplastic cells in GCTBs.

Abstract
Giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) is an intermediate locally aggressive primary bone tumour, occurring mostly at the meta-epiphysis of long bones. Overexpression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) by mononuclear neoplastic stromal cells promotes recruitment of numerous reactive multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cells, causing lacunar bone resorption. Preferential treatment is curettage with local adjuvants such as phenol, alcohol or liquid nitrogen. The remaining cavity may be filled with bone graft or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement; benefits of the latter are a lower risk of recurrence, possibility of direct weight bearing and early radiographic detection of recurrences. Reported recurrence rates are comparable for the different local adjuvants (27-31%). Factors increasing the local recurrence risk include soft tissue extension and anatomically difficult localisations such as the sacrum. When joint salvage is impossible, en-bloc resection and endoprosthetic joint replacement may be performed. Local tumour control on the one hand and maintenance of a functional native joint and quality of life on the other hand are the main pillars of surgical treatment for this disease. Current knowledge and development in the fields of imaging, functional biology and systemic therapy are forcing us into a paradigm shift from a purely surgical approach towards a multidisciplinary approach. Systemic therapy with denosumab (RANKL inhibitor) or zoledronic acid (bisphosphonates) blocks, respectively inhibits, bone resorption by osteoclast-like giant cells. After use of zoledronic acid, stabilisation of local and metastatic disease has been reported, although the level of evidence is low. Denosumab is more extensively studied in two prospective trials, and appears effective for the optimisation of surgical treatment. Denosumab should be considered in the standard multidisciplinary treatment of advanced GCTB (e.g. cortical destruction, soft tissue extension, joint involvement or sacral localisation) to facilitate surgery at a later stage, and thereby aiming at immediate local control. Even though several questions concerning optimal treatment dose, duration and interval and drug safety remain unanswered, denosumab is among the most effective drug therapies in oncology.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Clinically based systematic review. OBJECTIVE To determine the role of (A) medical treatment and (B) interventional radiology as either adjuvant or stand-alone treatment in primary benign bone tumors of the spine. METHODS A multidisciplinary panel of spine surgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists elaborated specific focused questions regarding aneurysmal bone cyst, giant cell tumor, and osteoid osteoma. Denosumab, bisphosphonate, interferon, bone marrow aspirate, doxycycline, thermal ablation, and selective arterial embolization were identified as areas of interest for the article. A systematic review was performed through MEDLINE and EMBASE. Recommendations based on the literature review and clinical expertise were issued using the GRADE system. RESULTS The overall quality of the literature is very low with few multicenter prospective studies. For giant cell tumor, combination with Denosumab identified 14 pertinent articles with four multicenter prospective studies. Nine studies were found on bisphosphonates and six for selective arterial embolization. The search on aneurysmal bone cyst and selective arterial embolization revealed 12 articles. Combination with Denosumab, Doxycycline, and bone marrow aspirate identified four, two, and three relevant articles respectively. Eleven focused articles were selected on the role of thermal ablation in osteoid osteoma. CONCLUSION Alternative and adjuvant therapy for primary benign bone tumors have emerged. Their ability to complement or replace surgery is now being scrutinized and they may impact significantly the algorithm of treatment of these tumors. Most of the data are still emerging and further research is desirable. Close collaboration between the different specialists managing these pathologies is crucial. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE N/A.

Abstract
Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody to RANK ligand approved for use in giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone. Due to its efficacy, Denosumab is recommended as the first option in inoperable or metastatic GCT. Denosumab has also been used pre-operatively to downstage tumours with large soft tissue extension to allow for less morbid surgery. The role of Denosumab for conventional limb GCT of bone is yet to be defined. Further studies are required to determine whether local recurrence rates will be decreased with the adjuvant use of Denosumab along with surgery. The long term use and toxicity of this agent is unknown as is the proportion of patients with primary or secondary resistance. It is advised that complicated cases of GCT requiring Denosumab treatment should be referred and followed up at expert centres. Collaborative studies involving further clinical trials and rigorous data collection are strongly recommended to identify the optimum use of this drug.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone is typically composed of neoplastic stromal cells and non-neoplastic osteoclastic giant cells. RANK-expressing osteoclastic giant cells are recruited by RANK ligand excreted by the stromal cells, and used by these neoplastic cells to create expansion space. Denosumab specifically binds to and inhibits RANK ligand, thereby eradicating osteoclastic giant cells from the tumor and thus reducing osteolytic activity. Clinical studies reported disease stabilization and clinical benefit in terms of reduced pain and analgesics use, avoided surgeries or surgeries with less morbid procedures. Adverse events observed in patients with giant cell tumor of bone were consistent with the known safety profile of denosumab with a very low incidence of hypocalcemia and osteonecrosis. Overall, denosumab was shown to suppress osteolytic activity and slow disease progression and is thus a treatment option for patients with giant cell tumor of bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell tumour of the bone (GCTB) is an aggressive osteolytic primary tumour. GCTB is rich in osteoclast-like giant cells and contains mononuclear cells that express RANK ligand (RANKL), a key mediator of osteoclast activation. The potential therapeutic effect of denosumab was investigated with special reference to its role in joint preservation. METHODS In this prospective non-randomised study patients with GCTB received denosumab for 6-11 months preoperatively. Serial radiographs and biopsy and resection tumour specimens were used to monitor response to denosumab. RESULTS All 20 patients experienced pain relief in the first month of treatment. All patients demonstrated a positive radiographic response with improved subchondral and cortical bone which allowed intralesional tumour resection and preservation of the joint and articular surface in 18 cases. Histological examination following denosumab revealed rarely detectable osteoclast-like giant cells. There was an obvious increase in osteoid matrix and woven bone which showed rare RANK staining amongst the mononuclear cells and only focal RANKL positivity. At median 30 months follow-up after resection, local tumour recurrence occurred in three patients. CONCLUSION Denosumab provides favourable and consistent clinical, radiographic and pathologic responses which facilitates less aggressive surgical treatment, especially joint preservation. However, the local recurrence rate for GCTB following resection does not seem to be affected by denosumab and remains a concern.

Abstract
Giant-cell tumor of bone is a rare, locally aggressive tumor that typically occurs in the bones of skeletally mature young adults in their second to fourth decades. Traditionally, surgery has been the mainstay of therapy for this disease, but the disease can recur even with optimal procedures. Furthermore, it may occur in locations where a surgical approach would be morbid. The maturation of the understanding of the role of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) in the pathophysiology of giant-cell tumor of bone has led to the use of denosumab, a monoclonal antibody against RANKL, in this disease. In 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration approved denosumab for use in patients with recurrent/unresectable/metastatic giant-cell tumor of bone or for patients in whom surgery would be morbid.
