Journal: Does Denosumab Change the Giant Cell Tumor Treatment Strategy? Lessons Learned From Early Experience. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 18, 2019 We believe that denosumab treatment before resection of a large tumor aids resection without tumor spillage, particularly where important structures like the neurovascular bundle are dissected away from the tumor margin, although we cannot confirm that it helps lower the incidence of recurrence. We are concerned regarding the malignancy-causing potential from our observation in one patient as well as reports of this by others and recommend judicious use of this drug in patients with GCT.

Clinical, Journal: Denosumab and breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women: a population-based cohort study. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 14, 2019 We are concerned regarding the malignancy-causing potential from our observation in one patient as well as reports of this by others and recommend judicious use of this drug in patients with GCT. These findings suggest a potential protective effect of ever denosumab use on breast cancer risk in a cohort of older women previously treated with bisphosphonates.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Bone Metastases in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: From Pathogenesis to Clinical Management. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 11, 2019 The current knowledge on BMs in gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) and bronchopulmonary (BP) NENs is still scant and is derived from a few retrospective studies and case reports. This review aims to perform a critical analysis of the evidence regarding the role of BMs in GEP- and BP-NENs, focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlining the development of BMs, as well as clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of BMs, in an attempt to provide suggestions that can be used in clinical practice.

Journal: Treatment of osteoporosis: whom, how and for how long? (Pubmed Central) - Sep 11, 2019 For patients with lower risk, a period off treatment might be considered after this initial course to minimize the risks associated with more prolonged treatment, but this only applies to bisphosphonates and not denosumab or teriparatide. This review discusses strategies for case finding of patients at risk, currently available treatment options, recent developments in pharmacological management and duration of treatment.

This case reports about the diagnosis, treatment and process of a 76-year old patient, who within a 4‑month period suffered from bilateral distal tibial shaft fractures, after years of treatment with bisphosphonates, strontium ranelate and denosumab.

Herein, we review the epidemiology, risk factors, management options and proposed mechanisms of pathogenesis of atypical femur fractures.

The sequence therapy of romosozumab followed by denosumab may be a promising regimen for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Clinical, Journal: Do femoral fractures in adult patients with osteogenesis imperfecta imitate atypical femoral fractures? A case series. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 6, 2019 Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are low-energy femoral fractures with characteristic radiological features and a suspected relation to treatment with bisphosphonate (BP) or denosumab...The radiologic appearance of femoral fractures may be different in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and patients with osteoporosis, thus imitate atypical femoral fractures (AFF). We found that bone deformity, collagen deficiencies, and alterations in bone mineralization may cause femoral fractures that imitate AFFs even in the absence of antiresorptive treatment.

Clinical, Journal: Denosumab improves clinical manifestations of hypophosphatemic osteomalacia by adefovir-induced Fanconi syndrome: a case report. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 6, 2019 Although denosumab is not generally an appropriate treatment for acquired Fanconi syndrome, it may be useful for patients who have hypophosphatemic osteomalacia due to adefovir dipivoxil-induced Fanconi syndrome associated with excessive bone resorption. However, clinicians should keep in mind that if denosumab is administered to patients with hypophosphatemic osteomalacia accompanied by excessive bone resorption, adequate vitamin D and/or phosphate supplementation should be done before administration of denosumab.

Clinical, Journal: Aneurysmal bone cyst: A review of 65 patients. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 30, 2019 Minimally invasive methods such as selective embolization and injections of sclerosing agents may result in healing or at least in tolerable persistence of residual lesions but needs repetitive treatments and does not show homogenous results throughout the institutions. Denosumab appears to be an additional option, especially in surgically critical locations such as the spine or the sacrum.

Clinical, Observational data, Journal, Real-World Evidence: Changes in bone mineral density (BMD): a longitudinal study of osteoporosis patients in the real-world setting. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 30, 2019 Osteoporosis patients are unlikely to improve femoral neck T-scores over 1.2 years. Additional studies are needed to determine the optimal time to repeat BMD testing while receiving osteoporosis treatment and to determine whether fracture risk is reduced in patients who achieve target T-scores.

Retrospective data, Journal: Evaluation of healing time of osteochemonecrosis of the jaw after surgery: Single-center retrospective study and review of the literature (Pubmed Central) - Aug 28, 2019 Our study shows that the postoperative healing rate of ONJ lies between 57 and 66.7 % at 6 months and that this rate was optimized in the order of 10 % to 12months and stable at 18months postoperatively. The ONJ of our series were partially or fully linked to other drugs than bisphosphonates in 70 % of the cases: 50 % were related to denosumab, alone or in combination and 35 % were related to an association with antiangiogenics, bevacizumab mainly.

Review, Journal: RANK-RANKL Signaling in Cancer of the Uterine Cervix: A Review. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 28, 2019 Abundant circumstantial evidence suggests that RANKL inhibition may (partially) reverse an immunosuppressive status. The use of denosumab, a monoclonal antibody directed to RANKL, as an immunomodulatory strategy is an attractive concept which should be further explored in combination with immune therapy in patients with cervical cancer.

Journal: Underestimation of vertebral fractures after Denosumab discontinuation.

Moreover, we found that this study has methodological caveats.
