Preoperative Denosumab may increase the Risk of Local Recurrence of Giant-cell Tumor of Bone Treated with Curettage: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effect of preoperative denosumab on the local recurrence of giant-cell tumor of bone (GCTB) treated with curettage. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were comprehensively searched. The following data were analyzed using meta-analysis: local recurrence rate of patients receiving denosumab followed by curettage (denosumab group), local recurrence rate of patients receiving curettage only (control group), and a comparison of the local recurrence rates of the two groups. Results: Nine studies that contained 672 patients with GCTB were included in this review. Patients in the denosumab group (preoperative denosumab followed by curettage) had a higher risk of local recurrence compared with those in the control group (curettage only) (odds ratio = 3.04, 95% confidence interval = 1.48-6.22, P < 0.01). The association between preoperative denosumab and local recurrence remained significant in most of the subgroup analyses, except for those with sample sizes < 59 (P = 0.09), sacral GCTB (P = 0.42), and usage of postoperative denosumab (P = 0.38). Conclusions: Preoperative denosumab may increase the risk of local recurrence of GCTB treated with curettage and should be used with caution in the management of GCTB.
