This illustration shows the typical location of the ALCL that was diagnosed in patients with breast implants. ALCL is lymphoma,a type of cancer involving cells of the immune system. It is not cancer of the breast tissue. After an intensive review of known cases of a rare form of cancer in breast implant recipients,the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says women with implants may have a very small,but increased risk of developing anaplastic large cell lymphoma,or ALCL. FDA scientists reached that conclusion after examining scientific literature that focused on cases of ALCL in 34 women with breast implants,as well as information from agency reports,international regulatory agencies,scientific experts,and breast implant manufacturers | |
