Breast implants still plagued by safety concerns

The FDA is investigating an increased incidence of a rare type of breast cancer called anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, or ALCL, in women who have had breast implants. Although it is an incredibly low risk, women should be aware of the symptoms of ALCL, which include swelling, pain or lumps around the implants. Further studies will need to be done to evalute the risk factors for ALCL in breast implants.
