About this trial

The purpose of the clinical study is to investigate whether the local delivery of bisphosphonate as a surgical adjuvant can decrease the chance of a giant cell tumor of bone coming back to the same location. The hypothesis is that the local administration of bisphosphonate will decrease the rate of the tumor returning compared to traditional aggressive surgical removal of the tumor.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Primary benign GCT of bone

No previous systemic bisphosphonate or denosumab therapy

Disqualifiers

Recurrent GCT of bone

Non-extremity location

Lesion too extensive for intralesional treatment, either due to bone loss, joint invasion, or large soft tissue component
