Rare Cancer Due To Breast Implant,
No Confirmed Patients in Korea...
Regular Examination is Important
Breast augmentation with implant is the
world's largest plastic surgery.
According to the International Society
of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), breast augmentation is the surgery has
been performed globally the most in 2016 and the demand of breast augmentation
is increasing
from 10.4% in 2014 to 15.8% in 2016.
Most breast augmentation surgeries have
undergone
technological advancements for safer and more natural results,
however,
careful approach is required because sometimes there are cases
that
cause problems due to external or internal factors of implants.
Recently, there
is a controversy over the use of certain manufacturers' implants, which are
known to increase the likelihood of developing a rare cancer called anaplastic
large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Although cases have occurred mainly in Western
countries such as the US, Canada, Europe and Australia,
no confirmed cases have
yet been reported in Asia including Korea.
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare
cancer associated
with the immune system that is different from breast cancer.
It usually occurs several years after implant implantation,
symptoms are
persistent swelling or pain near the breast implant.
If you have any abnormal
reactions such as swelling or lumps,
you should get a breast exam. If it is
diagnosed as abnormal
after the examination, it is known that it will be cured
by removing the implant and the capsules surrounding the implant.
In
general, regular examinations are recommended
when a breast augmentation
surgery is performed in a medical institution
that performs breast
augmentation.
Even simple diseases can be missed to be treated if examination
is not taken. Because of this, it is important to have an annual mammogram and
ultrasonography if you have implants in your breasts.
Regular check-ups can
examine problems that are not revealed and prevent problems in the future. In
particular, breast ultrasound can diagnose early breast cancer and breast
disease.
Breast implants don't have to be replaced every 10 years.
Prostheses used in the past often required reoperation or replacement of implants due to implant rupture or capsular contracture.
Recent implants are so sophisticated and strong that they won’t rupture for more than 10 years. However, over time, the possibility of damage can increase, so it is better to check the implants through regular breast examinations once or twice a year. If there is a breast surgery specialist and a radiologist
in the hospital where you want to operate, you can check the condition of the breast through breast ultrasonography, and mammoth and biopsy can be an option if you need more detailed.
Kyunam Han, breast surgery specialist of Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic,
said, "If an anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is found, it can be cured by removing the breast implants early, so detection in early stage of symptoms is important."
Dr. Han added "To do this, we need to select medical staff with multiple clinical experiences, and make sure that the hospital has specialized equipment and medical staff for breast screening."
