Abstract EN

Local control rates for Giant Cell Tumor of Bone (GCT) have been reported in a large number of retrospective series.

However, there remains a lack of consensus with respect to the need for a surgical adjuvant when intralesional curettage is performed.

We have systematically reviewed the literature and identified six studies in which two groups from the same patient cohort were treated with intralesional curettage and high-speed burring with or without a chemical or thermal adjuvant.

Studies were evaluated for quality and pooled data was analyzed using the fixed effects model.

Data from 387 patients did not indicate improved local control with the use of surgical adjuvants.

Given the available data, we conclude that surgical adjuvants are not required when meticulous tumor removal is performed.
