EP:26: Do Breast Implants Increase Your Risk of Breast Cancer?

In this episode, we address a common concern: whether breast implants increase the risk of breast cancer. The answer is clear—breast implants do not increase breast cancer risk. In fact, implants can sometimes aid in the detection of breast cancer by pushing breast tissue forward, making mammography easier. However, it's important to note that there is a rare association between textured implants and Breast Implant Associated Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). This entity is rare, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 4,000 to 1 in 30,000 cases. While BIA-ALCL is something to be aware of, it does not change the overall fact that implants do not elevate breast cancer risk.00:00 Do Breast Implants Increase Breast Cancer Risk?01:00 Textured Implants and Large Cell Lymphoma02:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughtshttps://www.youtube.com/@bodybypolybodybypoly.com
