PURPOSE Giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB) exhibit aggressive bone lytic behavior. Studies have shown that interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is involved pathologic bone resorption in various skeletal disorders. Thus, we have investigated the role of IL-17A in GCTBs. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We evaluated the progression of GCTBs using Campanacci grading and Enneking staging systems in 74 patients with GCTB. T...

GCTB is the most challenging benign bone tumors. On the other hand, the natural history of this bony tumor may be different from local bony lesion to local metastasis, even malignant transformation which is rare. Symptoms are highly variable and may range from asymptomatic in some patients, joint pain in tumor near the joint and even pathologic fracture. In long-term follow op swelling or palpa...

Giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB) are rare sarcomas with a high rate of unpredictable local relapse. Studies suggest that surgical methods affect recurrence, supporting the idea that local disease develops from re-growth of residual cancer cells. To identify early prognostic markers of individual risk of recurrence, we evaluated the effect of post-surgery fluids from a cohort of GCTB patients on...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy different therapeutic regimens using denosumab in patients with giant cell tumor bone (GCTB), regarding primary outcomes related response (lesion size, pain and function) presentation imaging exams, addition secondary age (in years) location, reduction or downgrade surgical indication, local recurrence, presence pulmonary metastases side effects...

Giant cell tumors of the bone (GCTBs) are commonly diagnosed in Asian populations, usually around the knee. Herein, we aimed to determine the clinical characteristics, local recurrence rates, and relevant risk factors of primary GCTB around the knee. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were used to identify the risk factors for local recurrence. Four hundred ten patients with primary ...

Nicotiana benthamiana transient overexpression systems offer unique advantages for rapid and scalable biopharmaceuticals production, including high scalability and eukaryotic post-translational modifications such as N-glycosylation. High-mannose-type glycans (HMGs) of glycoprotein antigens have been implicated in the effectiveness of some subunit vaccines. In particular, Man9GlcNAc2 (Man9) has ...

Recent studies suggest that Denosumab reduces tumor size, therefore, makes the surgery easier with lowermorbidity. However, some studies have reported several complications for this drug. So, this systematic reviewwas performed to determine the effectiveness and safety of Denosumab in reducing bone destructions activity ofgiant cell tumor and skeletal-related events (SRE) in affected patients w...
