@Regrann from @the_boycott_movement - "The FDA said it now agrees with the World Health Organization, which concluded years ago that a type of lymphoma can develop following breastimplants. Concerns were first raised at the FDA in 2011, but the agency said then that there were too few cases to know if there was a connection.
🌐
In a recent update the agency said it had received 359 reports of the cancer in women with breast implants, but cautioned that such reports are often missing key details, unconfirmed or duplicated.
🌐
The cancer is not breast cancer, the FDA emphasized. It is called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma and mostly occurs in a capsule of tissue that develops around the implant. This type of cancer usually progresses slowly and most patients are readily treated with surgery to remove the implant.
🌐
On average, the cancer occurs 8 years after a woman gets an implant, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It noted only about 10 new cases are reported worldwide each year, which we expect to grow rapidly now that patients know the truth and will request proper testing.
🌐
The reports also often omitted the type of implant. In those reports that did, about 60 percent of the cases involved silicone gel implants and the rest saline, according to the FDA.
🌐
Since 2011, packaging for all implants sold in the U.S. and Canada has listed the possible cancer risk, and advises women to discuss all the risks and options with their doctor."
