Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) may achieve long-term disease control in patients with chemoresistant disease, but many patients are unable to undergo allo-SCT. Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is a novel antibody-drug conjugate targeting CD30. Recent data have suggested that this treatment may be beneficial in patients who have had an unsatisfactory response to at least two prior treatments and are not eligible for allo-SCT. In addition, BV may be used to reduce tumour burden, allowing patients to subsequently progress to allo-SCT. This article discusses case studies of treatment-refractory patients with cHL and sALCL, for whom BV has provided durable complete responses (CRs).","PeriodicalId":38554,"journal":{"name":"European Oncology and Haematology","volume":"29 1","pages":"130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84442636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deregulation of ferritin production in HHCS is caused by mutations in the iron-responsive elements (IREs) of the ferritin L-subunit gene (FTL gene) – interfering with the high-affinity interaction between IREs and iron regulatory proteins (IRPs), disturbing the negative regulatory control of ferritin synthesis and resulting in excessive production of L-ferritin. We report a 44-year-old woman initially suspected of having hereditary haemochromatosis and later together with family members diagnosed with HHCS. Genetic analysis showed heterozygosity for a G32T point mutation (Paris 2 mutation) in the IRE located in the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of the FTL gene. The differential diagnosis of hereditary haemochromatosis and HHCS together with the rarity and the versatile phenotype in HHCS obscures the diagnostic process, which emphasises the importance of the correct diagnosis of HHCS in order to prevent unnecessary phlebotomy.","PeriodicalId":38554,"journal":{"name":"European Oncology and Haematology","volume":"85 1","pages":"147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82067563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
