Understanding BIA-ALCL and its Impact on Breast Implants
Breast implant-related anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has gradually received more attention among the medical community and women considering breast implants. It is an unusual sub-type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that occasionally develops around textured implants rather than causing any other breast problems. Even though BIA-ALCL is not a breast cancer per se, its linkage to implants, especially those that are textured has increased substantial concerns about the safety and informed decisions for patients.
