The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating a link between implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). This is not breast cancer but a cancer of the immune cells. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), implant-related ALCL is very rare and when caught early, it is easy to treat. Dr. Katzen encourages all patients with implants to get regular screenings for breast cancer. You should contact our team if you notice any concerns, such as swelling or other visible changes.
