    A straightforward plasma exchange method using a hollow-fiber filter and dialysis equipment was effective. This minimally invasive procedure was well-tolerated in a patient with metastatic breast cancer over eight sessions.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Technology
    • Oncology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Metastatic breast cancer presents complex treatment challenges.
    • Plasma exchange is a therapeutic apheresis technique used in various medical conditions.
    • Conventional dialysis equipment can be adapted for apheresis procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simple and accessible method for plasma exchange.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and tolerance of this method in a clinical setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a hollow-fiber plasma filter.
    • Integrated the filter with standard unipuncture hemodialysis equipment.
    • Administered eight biweekly treatment sessions.

    Main Results:

    • The plasma exchange procedure was successfully implemented.
    • The method was well-tolerated by the patient throughout the treatment course.

    Conclusions:

    • This simple plasma exchange method offers a viable option for patients with metastatic breast cancer.
    • The integration with conventional dialysis equipment enhances accessibility and potentially reduces costs.
