Abstract
Curettage is recommended for the treatment of Campanacci stages 1-2 giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) in the extremities, pelvis, sacrum, and spine, without preoperative denosumab treatment. In the distal femur, bone chips and plate fixation are utilized to reduce damage to the subchondral bone and prevent pathological fracture, respectively. For local recurrence, re-curettage may be utilized when feasible. En bloc resection is an option for very aggressive Campanacci stage 3 GCTB in the extremities, pelvis, sacrum, and spine, combined with 1-3 doses of preoperative denosumab treatment. Denosumab monotherapy once every 3 months is currently the standard strategy for inoperable patients and those with metastatic GCTB. However, in case of tumor growth, a possible malignant transformation should be considered. Zoledronic acid appears to be as effective as denosumab; nevertheless, it is a more cost-effective option. Therefore, zoledronic acid may be an alternative treatment option, particularly in developing countries. Surgery is the mainstay treatment for malignant GCTB.

Preoperative prognostic nutrition index can independently predict the 6-month prognosis of elderly patients undergoing neurosurgical clipping for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Neurosurg Rev 2023; 46:117. [PMID: 37165260 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-023-02021-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
The number of elderly patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is increasing annually. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is used as a novel and valuable prognostic marker for various neoplastic diseases and other critical illnesses. This study aimed to identify the short-term prognostic value of preoperative PNI in elderly patients who underwent neurosurgical clipping for aSAH. This retrospective study included elderly patients with aSAH who underwent neurosurgical clipping from January 2018 to December 2020. Clinical variables and 6-month outcomes were collected and compared. Epidemiological data and effect factors of prognosis were evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analyses were used to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative PNI. Multiple logistic regression was performed to establish a nomogram. A total of 124 elderly patients were enrolled. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative PNI (odds ratio (OR), 0.779; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.689-0.881; P < 0.001), Hunt-Hess grade (OR, 3.291; 95%CI, 1.816-5.966; P < 0.001), and hydrocephalus (OR, 9.423; 95%CI, 2.696-32.935; P < 0.001) were significant predictors. The area under the ROC curve of PNI was 0.829 (95% CI, 0.755-0.903; P < 0.001) with a sensitivity and specificity of 68.4% and 83.3%, respectively, and the cutoff value was 46.36. Patients with preoperative PNI of < 46.36 had a significantly unfavorable 6-months prognosis (F = 40.768, P < 0.001). Preoperative PNI is independently correlated with the 6-month prognosis in elderly patients who undergo neurosurgical clipping for aSAH.

Association between Inflammatory Markers and Local Recurrence in Patients with Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: A Preliminary Result. Curr Oncol 2023; 30:1116-1131. [PMID: 36661734 PMCID: PMC9857827 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol30010085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) has a high local recurrence rate of approximately 20%. Systemic inflammatory markers, such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), hemoglobin (Hb), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), have been reported as prognostic markers in patients with malignant tumors. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between these markers and the local recurrence rate of GCTB. In total, 103 patients with GCTB who underwent surgery at the authors' institutions between 1993 and 2021 were included. Thirty patients experienced local recurrence. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that tumor site, preoperative and postoperative denosumab treatment, and surgery were significantly associated with local recurrence-free survival. LDH was associated with local recurrence-free survival on univariate analysis only. NLR, mGPS, PNI, LMR, and PLR score did not correlate with the local recurrence rate. In conclusion, NLR, mGPS, PNI, LMR, PLR score, Hb, ALP, and LDH levels are not correlated with the local recurrence rate of GCTB. However, due to the small number of patients included in this study, this result should be re-evaluated in a multicenter study with a larger sample size.

Abstract
Aims: The present study investigated the combined clinical significance of fibrinogen and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (F-NLR) in predicting postoperative recurrence of giant cell tumor of bone. Methods: A total of 113 participants were included in this retrospective study to examine the effects of inflammatory factors on postoperative tumor recurrence. Results: The high-score F-NLR group was significantly associated with larger tumor size (p = 0.001), advanced tumor stage (p = 0.018), wide resection (p = 0.004) and greater local recurrence (p = 0.014). Univariate and multivariate survival analyses revealed that F-NLR (p = 0.035) remained an independent factor influencing tumor recurrence rates. Conclusions: This study reveals that the F-NLR score is a promising blood biomarker for predicting giant cell tumor recurrence.

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
Background and AimThere is still an absence of objective and easily accessible biomarkers despite the variety of risk factors associated with postoperative pneumonia (POP) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). In the present study, we have thus evaluated the relationship between the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR) and POP in patients with aSAH.MethodsSeveral consecutive patients (n = 395) who had undergone clipping or coiling of the aneurism were retrospectively assessed, of which we were able to analyze the existing population data and the related baseline variables. The patients were divided into POP and revealed not to occur. To identify independent predictors, we used the recipient operation feature (receiver operating characteristic, ROC) curve and a logic regression analysis.ResultsThis cohort was based on POP that occurred in 78 out of the 395 patients (19.7%), and these revealed a significantly higher NAR than those without (0.31 [0.25–0.39] vs. 0.23 [0.18–0.28]; p < 0.001). On the other hand, a multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NAR (odds ratio = 1.907; 95% confidence interval, 1.232–2.953; p = 0.004) was independently associated with a POP after due adjustment for confounders. Moreover, the predictive performances of NAR for POP were also significant (area under the ROC curve [95% CI] 0.775 [0.717–0.832]; p < 0.001).ConclusionThe elevation of NAR at admission in patients with aSAH might help predict POP.

The blood pressure and use of tourniquet are related to local recurrence after intralesional curettage of primary benign bone tumors: a retrospective and hypothesis-generating study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:201. [PMID: 35241034 PMCID: PMC8892695 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05157-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims Intralesional curettage is a commonly used treatment for primary bone tumors. However, local recurrence of tumors after curettage remains a major challenge. Questions (1) Is blood pressure related to local recurrence after intralesional curettage for benign or intermediate bone tumors? (2) What’s the impact of tourniquet usage on the risk of recurrence from high blood pressure? Methods This retrospective study evaluated patients receiving intralesional curettage for primary bone tumors from January 2011 to January 2015. A total of 411 patients with a minimum five-year follow-up were included for analysis. Demographic and disease-related variables were first assessed in univariable analyses for local recurrence risk. When a yielded p-value was < 0.2, variables were included in multivariable analyses to identify independent risk factors for local recurrence. Patients were then stratified by tourniquet usage (use/non-use), and risk from high blood pressure was evaluated in both subgroups. Results At an average follow-up of 6.8 ± 1.0 years, 63 of 411 patients (15.3%) experienced local recurrence. In multivariable analyses, local recurrence was associated with age (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.94–0.99; p = 0.005); tumor type; lesion size (> 5 cm: OR, 3.58; 95% CI, 1.38–9.33; p = 0.009); anatomical site (proximal femur: OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.21–5.15; p = 0.014; proximal humerus: OR, 3.34; 95% CI, 1.61–6.92; p = 0.001); and preoperative mean arterial pressure (> 110 mmHg: OR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.20–5.67; P = 0.015). In subgroup analyses, after adjusting for age, tumor type, lesion size, and anatomical site, tourniquet use modified the preoperative mean arterial pressure - recurrence relationship: when tourniquet was not used, preoperative mean arterial pressure predicted local recurrence (95–110 mmHg, 4.13, 1.42–12.03, p = 0.009; > 110 mmHg, 28.06, 5.27–149.30, p < 0.001); when tourniquet was used, preoperative mean arterial pressure was not related to local recurrence (all p values > 0.05). Conclusions A high preoperative blood pressure was related to local recurrence after intralesional curettage for primary bone tumors in our study. Tourniquet usage and controlling blood pressure might be beneficial for reducing local recurrence in patients scheduled to receive intralesional curettage for primary bone tumor treatment. Level of evidence Level IV, hypothesis-generating study. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12891-022-05157-4.

Current Concepts in the Treatment of Giant Cell Tumors of Bone. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13153647.

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.
