Rare Breast Implants Cause Cancer

There is a relationship between saline and silicone breast implants with a rare cancer that attacks the breast (Anplastic Large Cell Lymphoma-AlCl). Thus disclosed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The observation of some of the literature published between January 1997 and May 2010 concluded that women who use breast implants have a risk of AlCl in the scar tissue around the implant. In this observation AlCl found 34 cases in women who wear saline and silicone as breast implants.

The FDA also recommends every health care facility in the United States to report every case finding AlCl in patients with breast implants. To ensure that every woman safe use of breast implants, the FDA and implant manufacturers will work together to create a safer implant.
