β-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin-Secreting Giant Cell Tumor of Bone in the Mandible: Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review. (PubMed, Head Neck Pathol)
There is only one other case that has been documented of a β-hCG-producing GCTBoccurring in the base of the skull with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst-like changes.This appears to be the first reported instance of β-hCG-secreting GCTB in the gnathicbones. This case exemplifies the diagnostic challenges of rare presentations of GCTBand alerts clinicians to the potential misleading presentation of hormone expression.

Non-metastatic breast cancer patients discontinuing aromatase inhibitor on denosumab: what next? (PubMed, Osteoporos Int)
Therefore, expert consensus suggests initiating bisphosphonate treatment after denosumab discontinuation, even though there is no an optimal bisphosphonate regimen. There are numerous open research questions which future prospective studies will have to answer in order to personalize the most appropriate antiresorptive therapy for each patient.

Cutting edge developments in bone oncology - Highlights from the Cancer and Bone Society 2024 annual meeting. (PubMed, J Bone Oncol)
Clinical sessions emphasized the evolution of bone-targeted treatments such as bisphosphonates, denosumab, and radiopharmaceuticals, alongside predictive biomarkers to guide personalized care...Collectively, the 2024 CABS Annual Conference captured a transformative moment in the field-where mechanistic discoveries, advanced modeling, and translational collaboration converge to improve outcomes for patients with skeletal malignancies. As CABS looks ahead to the 2026 meeting in Tampa, Florida, the Society remains steadfast in fostering global partnerships and advancing integrative approaches to conquer cancer in bone.

Malignant and metastatic giant cell tumors of bone; clinical course of primary or secondary malignant and pulmonary metastatic variants. (PubMed, J Bone Oncol)
None malignant transformations occurred following denosumab or radiotherapy...SM-GCTB and osteosarcoma arise from benign GCTB but differ in morphology and prognosis. Because malignant transformation is exceptionally rare and symptomatic, a patient-centered, symptom-driven follow-up strategy is preferred over routine lifelong radiologic surveillance.

Excellent Results in the Off-Label Use of Denosumab in Pediatric Oncology: Monocentric Case Series Study. (PubMed, Case Rep Pediatr)
This study confirms literature data about the use of denosumab in inoperable GCRTB. These results are preliminary; further studies are necessary on a larger series of cases, with a longer follow-up (3-5 years), with data collection even from other pediatric centers.

Pan-cancer bone metastasis atlas at single-cell resolution identifies a distinct tumor-associated macrophage subset for mediating Denosumab-induced immunosensitization in lung cancer bone metastasis. (PubMed, Int J Biol Sci)
Denosumab facilitates the infiltration of CD8+ T cells into the interior of LC-BoM tissues. Based on this mechanism, we observed in both clinical cohorts and preclinical models that RANKL inhibitor can enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy in treating LC-BoM.

Pediatric Giant-Cell Tumor of Bone With Secondary Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Causing Orbital Apex Syndrome. (PubMed, J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus)
Management included repeat resection and denosumab therapy, achieving radiographic stability with preservation of vision in the right eye, although the optic nerve of the left eye remained atrophic. Given the diagnostic overlap between GCTB and ABC, the authors emphasize the importance of genetic testing for accurate and early diagnosis to enable timely treatment and reduce the risk of recurrence.
