A new form of cancer could be triggered by a type of breast implant popular with British women, scientists are warning.
At least 150 cases of the disease, called anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) of the breast, have been reported, including a handful in Britain.
Nine in 10 cases of the disease – a cancer of the immune system – have been in women who have received breast implants with a textured outer shell, according to experts.

Aren't those temporary? One doesn't need surgery to have those removed and they're not inside the body. Anyway, braces and crowns are needed to fix an existing problem. Big boobs are not needed for survival unless it's the new brain.
Back to teeth. I think fillings are more of a problem if they're mercury.
“Based on your comments a Karma ass kicking is on the way.”
Actually, no. I don’t ABUSE my body like the people that into NEEDLESS implants and plastic surgery. But I do understand where it it does make sense.
“If healthy women put foreign objects in their bodies just for vanity and don’t expect it to affect their health down the line, then they deserve the disease.”
I don’t know about “deserve the disease”, but they certainly are in NO POSITION to complain or file lawsuits if they get sick.
Such nonsense.
But will you look better? Will men like you more?
You're comparing apples to oranges, BobL, if I may say so. ;>0
Poland Syndrome - look it up
Makes sense - if there is a MEDICAL REASON, then it may well be worth rolling the dice on implants.
99% of daily mail writers cannot compose a proper English sentence.
With 150 cases reported, I’m hardly thinking this is wide spread.
Silly putty?
Wow that’s terrible!
Now if we could find out how much GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) is giving us Cancer?
Anyone who gives a dam about their health better read up on this stuff.
“Only One in a Hundred British Women Without Breast Implants”
Never understood the need for implants other than vanity and lack of self worth.
What a compassionate heart you have. Such a Christian attitude! So if you develop cancer, are we to assume that you did something to deserve all that suffering, financial ruin, grief, loss, and an agonizing death? You must be a horrible person to deserve that.
ZIIING, bada bump.
.if a person does something AS DUMB as making glib comments about the horrors of cancer, then they are an ignorant moron.
99% have breast implants ?
There is no MEDICAL REASON to GET implants. There is only a medical reason why a woman is suddenly unhappy with her physical appearance. Implants never save a life, and are ever necessary for life support. They are simply to help women cope with the sudden change in their appearance during a harrowing experience like chemotherapy.
I prefer natural ones
