Abstract
Over the years, the importance of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in bone physiology and pathophysiology has been thoroughly documented. Denosumab, also known as AMG 162, is a fully human monoclonal antibody against RANKL which is being studied in the treatment of metabolic, inflammatory, and malignant bone diseases. The purpose of this review is to analyze the potential role of denosumab in osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone metastases and multiple myeloma.Entities:
