DESIGN Observational prospective cohort study. SETTING The study was carried out in a referral center for surgery and laser surgery in Milan. PARTICIPANTS Of 397 consecutive patients initially enrolled from January 1, 1995, to December 31, 2010, 352 patients (201 men and 151 women; median age, 30 years) were included in the analysis. INTERVENTION All patients were treated by the same investigator with Q-switched 1064/532-nm Nd:YAG laser and Q-switched 755-nm alexandrite laser according to tattoo colors. Laser sessions were scheduled at 6-week or longer intervals. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Successful therapy was defined as removal of the tattoo, with no adverse effects other than transient hypochromia or darkening. RESULTS The cumulative rates of patients with successful tattoo removal were 47.2% (95% CI, 41.8%-52.5%) after 10 sessions and 74.8% (95% CI, 68.9%-80.7%) after 15 sessions. Smoking, the presence of colors other than black and red, a tattoo larger than 30 cm2, a tattoo located on the feet or legs or older than 36 months, high color density, treatment intervals of 8 weeks or less, and development of a darkening phenomenon were associated with a reduced clinical response to treatment.

Photosensitization is an adverse effect of many kinase inhibitors such as imatinib, sorafenib, and vemurafenib. Imatinib inhibits the adenosine triphosphate–dependent transporter ABCG2 resulting in intracellular porphyrin accumulation and phototoxic effects in vitro. Since vandetanib also inhibits the transporter activity of ABCG2, a similar porphyrin-induced mechanism might explain the similar effect. In a report of 2 cases, vandetanib-associated cutaneous pigmentation was preceded by photosensitization. In our more extensive experience, only half of the patients with cutaneous pigmentation had prior or concomitant skin photosensitization, making the hypothesis of post-photosensitization pigmentation less likely. In 3 patients, a multinucleated giant-cell granuloma was found in the dermis, which could result from a direct deposit of the drug in the skin. Vandetanib is being tested in the treatment of several types of cancers. In patients with medullary thyroid cancers, it has already demonstrated a significant efficacy, which led the US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency to label the drug for patients with advanced disease in 2011. Dermatologists should be aware of the spectrum of vandetanib toxic effects, and careful photoprotection should be used to facilitate compliance with treatment.","PeriodicalId":8175,"journal":{"name":"Archives of dermatology","volume":"148 12","pages":"1420-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1001/archdermatol.2012.3198","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31128822","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}
