TGCT is a rare condition that can be difficult to live with and frustrating to treat

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is typically a non-malignant neoplasm that can be locally aggressive1

While TGCT may be non-malignant, it is still a chronic and debilitating disease that may lead to life-altering joint damage and disability2,3

Depending on severity, TGCT has been reported to recur in under 3-4 years. Up to 15% localized TGCT; up to 55% diffuse TGCT. Depending on severity, TGCT has been reported to recur in under 3-4 years. Up to 15% localized TGCT; up to 55% diffuse TGCT.

Incidence and prevalence of TGCT

It is unknown how many people are currently living with this rare disease, but worldwide estimates were extrapolated from a study in the Netherlands.6

NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) recommend that—prior to the initiation of therapy—all patients be evaluated and managed by a multidisciplinary team with expertise and experience in sarcoma8

Complete resection should be considered but isn't always an option

Surgical outcomes depend on many factors, including localization and extent of the disease and patient characteristics1,4,9

Diffuse TGCT may lead to invasive surgical resection and deteriorating quality of life due to recurrence1

Many patients may
require multiple surgeries.

Because of the locally aggressive and recurrent nature of TGCT, which may lead to functional limitations and a severe decline
in quality of life, multiple surgeries may be required.2,5,6
