Denosumab does not decrease the risk of lung metastases in patients with bone GCT; the only important predictors for lung metastases in these patients are type of surgery and local recurrence. However, because the number of patients with lung metastases was small for a multivariate analysis, the possibility of denosumab's effect could not be completely eliminated.
