FDA warns of rare cancer linked to breast implants



In a letter to doctors, nurses and other health professionals, the FDA has issued a warning concerning a rare cancer linked to breast implants. The cancer, known as breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, usually forms in scar tissue that forms around implants. However, it should be noted that the disease is not breast cancer. The FDA warning applies to all types of breast implants, both saline and silicone.
