FDA Considers Silicone Breast Implant Registry
01/09/11 06:41
The FDA recently considered available data and the return of silicone breast implants during an advisory panel meeting. As noted in our post below, advocacy groups called for an outright recall or withdrawal of silicone implants due to a complete failure by manufacturers to provide the minimum data required to allow their sale. Following the 1992 ban of silicone implants, manufacturers were required to provide safety and efficacy data from ongoing studies. In June the FDA confirmed that breast implants were not ‘lifetime devices’ and that they required monitoring and replacement. A prior bulletin confirmed a potential association between silicone breast implants and ALCL (Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma).

In “FDA Questions Studies of Breast Implant Safety”, S. Reinberg, reports on the background highlighted above. It is also noted that 5-10 Million women worldwide have implants. This particular story does not highlight the explicit failure of manufacturers to follow women with breast implants. However, the hearings revealed that manufacturers followed, and thus reported on, only some of the women enrolled in studies. WebMD Health News, “FDA Questions Studies of Breast Implant Safety: Ongoing Safety Studies Have Lost as Many as 79% of Enrolled Patients”, by B. Goodman, noted that 3 years into the studies MENTOR had lost contact with 79% of women enrolled in their MEMORY GEL study. ALLERGAN had lost nearly 40% of their study, designed to follow NATRELLE recipients, after only 2 years. Based upon claims by their manufacturers, these gaping holes in surveillance are not expected to stop the return of silicone implants.

REUTERS is reporting that post-hearings a registry of patients will be developed to monitor women that elect to have silicone breast implants. This measure may encourage women to stay informed and provide ongoing data to both the manufacturers and the FDA. However, the recent hearings show that manufacturers were able to convince the FDA to allow the return of silicone implants on limited data and without their being held accountable for their own failure to follow or monitor patients. How you can claim to lose contact with the majority of patients in a study, given the availability of e-mail, cell phones and social media, defies conventional logic.

Beverly Hills – The New Breast Implant Capital of the World, Dow Claim in Beverly Hills ?

First it was Southern California, rated as the highest per capita for breast augmentation in the world (at least for women under the age of 35). Breast Implants are the premiere aesthetic plastic surgery procedure performed due to the high volume of amazingly beautiful women who apparently think their boobs are too small. And since roughly half of them are on or aspire to be on one or more reality television shows, it’s not surprising that Southern California gained a reputation as the Plastic Surgery capital of the world.

Breast Implant Helpline and Breast Implant Lawyers are accepting cases for the Dow Corning Trust Breast Implant Claims. We are helping 1000's of women with unsettled claims or who have rejection letters from other law firms. In light of this this article on new approved silicone breast implants has captured our attention. It reads as follows:

The recent FDA approval of a new breast implant is a reason for all women to rejoice. After years of stagnancy at the FDA in which the newest implants enjoyed by women outside from the U.S. were kept from American women, those needing reconstruction after mastectomy or wanting an augmentation will have more choices. Acting on data rather than pandering to uninformed activists represents an important step towards making the safest and most effective medical devices more widely available to those who need them.

Since the beneficiaries of this approval are the patients, it is perplexing as to why this advance was predominantly covered as a business story. Articles focused on industry economics and stock prices, but absent were stories about women whose lives were improved by these new devices during the rigorous clinical trials that justified their approval, and the many thousands of women who have been awaiting a better implant.

I was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times in 2006 when the FDA approved silicone implants. I explained why they were better for many patients, and I arranged for the reporter to interview several patients. Yet the editors placed this story in the business section, devoid of any content relevant to patients. With destined to develop breast cancer and many women choosing to have a breast augmentation, this is a story of enormous interest that should have been presented in a health or lifestyle section.

The explanation of this enigma goes back to the widespread frivolous breast implant litigation of the early 1990s. Plaintiff attorneys sought to replace the largess of asbestos litigation, and the deep pockets of device manufacturers filled their ravenous appetites and the headlines of newspapers. The FDA's authority to regulate industry but not the practice of medicine further created focus on industry.

This has made the needs of patients secondary. Even a women's rights organization which has opposed all breast implant approval — regardless of specific data — begins its discussion of breast implants on its website by describing the breast implant industry as is providing an implant to reconstruct an amputated breast cultivating insecurity? Is it consistent for a women's rights group to obstruct a woman's right to reconstruct or even augment her own breasts?

Suggesting that surgeons and patients are manipulated by industry is insulting and false. As a surgeon, these manufacturers are my suppliers. Together with my patients, we decide whether they will have a breast implant. Manufacturers spend little on marketing because they acknowledge they cannot affect demand.

The Sientra breast implant approval is a vindication of the scientific method. After two decades of acting in fear of a political backlash, the FDA has fulfilled its mandate to approve a device that has objectively demonstrated its safety and efficacy.

But it is too soon to celebrate. Similar implants made by Allergan and Mentor are yet to be approved, despite data that exceeds that of other available implants. How can that be rationalized by the agency?

Let us hope that reason will triumph

Breast-Sparing Surgery Means More Procedures

Action Points

    Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) has become a common treatment for patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), but the rate of subsequent diagnostic imaging and invasive breast procedures following BCS is not known.
    This study suggests that women with DCIS who choose to preserve their breasts with BCS may be subject to a high rate of subsequent diagnostic imaging and invasive breast procedures and may not be aware of this potential outcome.

Women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who opt to preserve the affected breast face continued diagnostic and invasive procedures potentially for years after surgery, researchers found.

Over 10 years, more than 75% of women who underwent breast-conserving surgery subsequently had either a diagnostic mammogram or an invasive procedure in the same breast, Larissa Nekhlyudov, MD, MPH, of Harvard, and colleagues reported online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Most procedures occurred in the first six months after surgery, but about half of women still had a procedure during those 10 years even when that first half-year was excluded, they reported.

"The fact that women undergoing breast-conserving surgery are likely to have diagnostic and invasive breast procedures in the conserved breast over an extended period of time is important and needs to be included in discussions about treatment options," they wrote.

Breast-conserving surgery is the most common treatment for DCIS, but it's not known how often women who have the procedure have subsequent evaluations and procedures.

So Nekhlyudov and colleagues assessed 2,948 women with DCIS who underwent breast-conserving surgery from 1990 to 2001, and who were followed for up to 10 years.

During that time, 30.8% of the women had diagnostic mammograms to evaluate new symptoms or new abnormalities on a breast exam or on surveillance mammograms.

Most women — 61.5% — also had at least one ipsilateral invasive procedure over the study period, the most common being an excisional biopsy, they found.

Women who had adjuvant radiation had the highest rate of diagnostic mammograms (34.9%) while those on tamoxifen alone had the lowest rate (22.3%). The results were similar for invasive procedures, the researchers said (64.7% and 49.2%, respectively).

Invasive procedures were most common in the first six months: 51.5% of women had them during this time, and these procedures continued at a median annual rate of 3.1%.

Most diagnostic mammograms, on the other hand, occurred during the second year after surgery (11.4%), with 7.3% of women having one in the first six months. The median annual rate was 4.3%.

In cumulative, 10-year incidence estimates, 41% of women had at least one diagnostic mammogram, 65.7% had at least one invasive procedure, and 76.1% had either event.

When excluding events that occurred during the first six months after breast-conserving surgery, 36.4% had at least one diagnostic mammogram, 30.4% had at least one invasive procedure, and 49.5% had either one over 10 years, the researchers said.

They concluded that the frequency of ongoing diagnostic breast evaluations and procedures after surgery should be included in discussions about treatment.

One limitation of the study, they added, is that it potentially underestimates imaging and invasive procedures because women who had a full mastectomy within six months of breast-conserving surgery were excluded. It may also be limited in its generalizability because the data are from only three healthcare delivery systems, they said.

In an accompanying editorial, Joann Elmore, MD, MPH, of the University of Washington in Seattle, and Joshua Fenton, MD, of the University of California Davis in Sacramento, Calif., agreed that these data should be incorporated into the decision-making process about breast-conserving surgery.

"Women who choose to preserve their breasts with breast-conserving surgery may be embarking on a more extended journey than anticipated," they wrote. "Unfortunately, not all women may be aware of this potential outcome when they consider their treatment options."

"Concerns about the substantial risk of subsequent invasive procedures may possibly sway more women to choose initial mastectomy over breast-conserving surgery," they wrote.

The study was supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute.

Neither the researchers nor the editorialists reported any conflicts of interest.
