隆胸和ALCL的风险
最近，美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）发现，有纹理的乳房植入物与一种罕见的癌症——间变性大细胞淋巴瘤（ALCL）的发展可能存在关联。.
大多数数据表明，患癌风险与表面有纹理的乳房植入物有关，而与表面光滑的乳房植入物无关. 风险很低，到目前为止，在美国只有一小部分使用有纹理植入物的患者被发现患有ALCL. 不过, 出于谨慎，FDA召回了一种特定品牌的纹理植入物.
鉴于最近对发展ALCL的担忧，U of U Health的整形外科部门已经停止使用所有品牌的纹理植入物. 请注意，召回这些植入物并不意味着需要移除植入物. 如果您对召回有任何担忧或疑问，请参阅FDA网站或与您的医生交谈.

倾听病人的心声
After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Terri Jones had a plan. “When it got to the idea of reconstructive surgery, all I knew is that I didn’t want anything foreign in my body,琼斯说. “我不想移植，我认为这意味着我根本不需要重建.” After speaking to a friend who had breast cancer, 琼斯了解到，在乳房重建方面，有比她想象的更多的选择. This meant she could make a choice right for her.
