Denosumab in the management of Aneurysmal bone cyst

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, locally aggressive tumour that arises predominantly in long bones and spine. Following the encouraging results of denosumab use in Giant Cell Tumors (GCT) and the histological similarities between ABC and GCT, the interest on the role of denosumab in the therapeutic arsenal of the most advanced ABC is growing. The purpose of this literature review is to investigate the current state of knowledge about the use of denosumab in ABCs. METHODS: A literature research was conducted through PUBMED, COCHRANE and GOOGLE SCHOLAR using the keywords "aneurysmal bone cyst" AND "denosumab". Seventeen articles were included. RESULTS: A total of 43 cases were reported in the literature. There were 23 males, 20 females. The mean age was 15,9±8,1 year. Pain relief and neurological improvement were rapid and sustained. Radiological assessment showed ossification and/or volume reduction in 36/39 patients. Eight patients (18,6%) presented a recurrence after or during denosumab therapy of whom 7 were adults. Adverse events occurred in 11 patients, 5 of them were admitted to the intensive care unit due to hypercalcemia. CONCLUSION: Denosumab use in non-surgical ABCs has shown a positive impact in pain and neurological symptoms. The oncological outcome remains unclear with a recurrence rate of 18,6% during/after denosumab therapy, mostly in adults. However, regarding the potential clinical benefits, its use might be discussed in the most advanced cases. Further research and clinical trials are mandatory to precise its belonging in the therapeutic arsenal.
