Giant Cell Tumor of Bone
Conditions
Keywords
bone tumors, giant cell tumor, treatment
Brief summary
The purpose of this project is to present the outcomes of patients with giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) who were treated with surgery and/or medical treatment in a single institution.
Detailed description
The investigators retrospectively review patients treated for GCTB of the extremities between 1990 and 2013 in a single institution. We evaluate the recurrence free survival rate after surgical and medical treatment of patients with GCTB of the extremities to determine the influence of the surgical approach, denosumab therapy, local tumor presentation, and demographic factors on the risk of recurrence.
Interventions
the investigators analyzed patients with giant cell tumor of bone who underwent curettage or resection with or without denosumab administration
