Challenges and practical considerations in the management of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm: A single-center experience

Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and often life-threatening complex hematologic malignancy that can commonly infiltrate the skin, lymph nodes, central nervous system, and bone marrow. In the setting of the infrequency of confirmed diagnoses of BPDCN, and given limited p...

description Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and often life-threatening complex hematologic malignancy that can commonly infiltrate the skin, lymph nodes, central nervous system, and bone marrow. In the setting of the infrequency of confirmed diagnoses of BPDCN, and given limited prospective studies, it has been associated with lackluster outcomes with a median overall survival between 9 and 23 months. We herein discuss our experience treating five consecutive patients with BPDCN at our center since the approval of TAG. We also present some of the challenges that face oncology providers treating this disease due to exceptional rarity and aggressive nature of this disease in addition to overall limited experience and effective therapies
