We have read with profound interest the article by Bastos and colleagues entitled Histologic Analysis of Zafirlukast’s Effect on Capsule Formation Around Silicone Implants. We have truly enjoyed this study because it focuses on the very important issue of ongoing research toward pharmacologic therapy for the treatment of periprosthetic capsule contracture. The latter has an incidence in the range of 0.5% to 50% [3]. Despite persistent clinical and laboratory investigation, to date, no solution has been developed to solve or prevent this problem.

Abstract
We have read with profound interest the article by Bastos and colleagues entitled Histologic Analysis of Zafirlukast’s Effect on Capsule Formation Around Silicone Implants. We have truly enjoyed this study because it focuses on the very important issue of ongoing research toward pharmacologic therapy for the treatment of periprosthetic capsule contracture. The latter has an incidence in the range of 0.5% to 50% [3]. Despite persistent clinical and laboratory investigation, to date, no solution has been developed to solve or prevent this problem.File in questo prodotto:
