BREAST PROSTHESIS AND CANCER
The use of silicone prostheses, which began to be used in America in the 1960s, was suspended in 1992 with the publication of a moratorium and questioned for health risks such as breast cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia. In the United States, silicone prostheses were released to markets in 2006 and made available again. Articles written in important universities and journals that examined the patient safety of beauty operations stated that silicone implants used in breast augmentation did not cause any health problems until the 2010s.
But in recent years, there has been a risk of developing some form of lymphoma in the naturally occurring capsule around silicone breast implants. This disease, called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) associated with breast prosthesis, is not a cancer of breast tissue, but a type of cancer caused by lymph tissue, and can be seen in all organs, mostly in the skin and lymph nodes.
The first series about the development of ALCL around breast implants began to be published in 2011. The average of 4-8 prosthetic surgery, which can occur years after unilateral breast pain, swelling, asymmetry, stiffness, redness, and rarely is a rare disease that manifests itself in symptoms such as palpable mass: approximately silicone prosthesis in the world exists in more than 20 million by 2021, but according to recent reports, the number of patients a total of 993 in the world, the number of patients who died due to this disease was 36%. The American Society for Plastic Surgery (ASPRS) has announced that women with breast implants in the United States have a 1:30,000 risk of having ALCL during their lifetime.
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) typically develops around dentures with a rough surface. For this reason, it is necessary to keep ID cards containing information such as manufacturer, brand, model and serial number of your breast implants. Patients using silicone breast implants are also recommended to be examined with a clinical check-up every 6 months for 5 years after surgery, an ultrasound every year and an MRI every 3 years. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) can be treated by complete removal of the prosthesis and the surrounding capsule.
If there is a constant swelling, pain, stiffness that occurs later in the breast many years after prosthetic surgery, you should definitely consult a Turkish plastic surgery specialist in Turkey.
