Brentuximab vedotin as monotherapy for unresectable breast implant‐associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Abstract: Key Clinical Message BI‐ALCL is a rare CD30+ T‐cell malignancy, which is known to complicate textured breast implants. The CD30‐targeting immunoconjugate, brentuximab vedotin, has been suggested for invasive BI‐ALCL; however, its efficacy for unresectable BI‐ALCL has not been demonstrated. We present a case of unresectable BI‐ALCL, which was successfully treated with brentuximab vedotin.

“…Their patient remained in complete remission after 3 year follow up. Subsequently, we reported a patient with significant extracapsular invasion, involving both the chest wall and pleura (Stage III) [ 15 ]. Our patient received 18 cycles of brentuximab vedotin monotherapy after surgical explantation and radiation therapy.…”

“…Interest has been given to the utilization of the novel anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate, brentuximab vedotin; however, until recently, its use has only been described in case reports and small series as an adjuvant for limited stage disease or as combination therapy with conventional chemotherapy for advanced disease [12][13][14]. Recently, we published a case report describing the successful application of brentuximab vedotin as monotherapy after surgical explantation and radiation for a case of advanced, unresectable BIA-ALCL [15]. In the current review, we will provide and in-depth discussion of the current literature on BIA-ALCL and the evidence supporting the use of brentuximab vedotin in treatment.…”

“…An estimated 43,390 breast augmentation surgeries (86,780 implants) and 1486 breast implant reconstructions are performed annually in Colombia, compared with approximately 217,000 in Brazil and 331,000 in the United States. 20 Although sporadic cases with BIA-ALCL have been reported from Colombia, 21 there are no reports evaluating the incidence of BIA-ALCL epidemiology or outcomes in Colombia or any other Latin American country. Therefore, a National Joint Multidisciplinary Committee was formed between the Colombian scientific societies of Mastology, Plastic Surgery, the Colombian Society of Hematology and Oncology (Asociacion Colombiana de Hemato Oncologia; ACHO), and The National Food and Drug Surveillance Institute (Invima) to track national cases within this population and to develop a consensus to standardize education on disease awareness and improve the identification and diagnosis of patients with BIA-ALCL (Fig.…”
