In a new study of female BRCA1/2 carriers who had breast cancer, there was a 16-fold higher risk of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma associated with breast implants. This occurred in BRCA1/2 carriers who received textured breast implants as part of breast reconstruction. This is important information for BRCA1/2 carriers to know about to guide breast reconstruction options, including:
- those thinking about breast reconstruction options
- those who already had reconstruction and have textured implants in place.
