Form of Cancer Associated with Breast Implants – FDA
The FDA links breast implants to a cancer.
FOX’s Lilian Woo has more:
The Food and Drug Administration says it’s received reports of nine deaths and more than 350 cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma associated with breast implants.
The FDA saying information suggests women with implants have a low, but increased risk of developing the rare blood cancer.
This brings the agency in line with the World Health Organization, which concluded years ago that this type of lymphoma can develop.
The disease affects cells in the immune system and can be found around the implant in the skin or lymph nodes.
Implant removal in patients without symptoms or other abnormality not recommended by the FDA.
