Abstract
Purpose of review: Diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor (D-TGCT) is a benign neoplasm with locally aggressive potential of the synovium, bursae, and tendon sheaths. This review summarizes the current treatment landscape for D-TGCT, with a focus on systemic therapies.
Recent findings: Surgery is the primary treatment option for tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT), but there is a high risk of recurrence and associated morbidity, particularly for patients with advanced D-TGCT. Systemic therapies targeting the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) have resulted in positive tumor response, improved function, and decreased symptoms. For an alternative to surgery, the CSF1R inhibitors pexidartinib and vimseltinib are approved in the United States for TGCT, and other CSF1R inhibitors are in clinical development. CSF1R inhibitors represent a significant evolution in therapeutic strategies for D-TGCT. The potential risks and benefits of available treatments should be carefully considered in collaboration with a bone tumor-experienced, multidisciplinary team to determine the best course of care. Increased D-TGCT awareness and support through patient advocacy groups have helped to reshape the patient journey.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
