What is XGEVA 120 mg Injection?
XGEVA 120 mg Injection is a prescription medication containing Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits RANKL (Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Ligand).
It is specifically designed for patients with:
Bone metastases from solid tumors (breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, etc.).
Giant cell tumors of the bone.
Prevention of skeletal-related events (SREs) such as fractures, spinal cord compression, or the need for bone surgery.
