The US Food and Drug Administration is alerting the public about certain cancers -- including squamous cell carcinoma and various lymphoma -- that have been reported in the scar tissue that forms around breast implants.
The FDA announced Thursday that although it believes that occurrences of squamous cell carcinoma and various lymphomas in the capsule around breast implants may be rare, health care providers and people who have or are considering breast implants should be aware of these cases -- and report them or any other cancers found around the implant to the agency.
"Breast implants are not meant to be lifetime devices. They have a lifespan, and that might range from seven to 10-plus years, based on the implant and patient," Dr. Tommaso Addona, a plastic surgeon and president of the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group in New York, told CNN in 2019 when the FDA held a meeting to review the safety of breast implants.He added that he often discusses benefits and risks with his own patients."We do discuss complications.
