English abstract
A breast implant is a prosthesis used to enhance the size of a
woman's breasts. Silicon implants are most commonly used, but as
with all surgical implants it has some complications. The question
is whether it can induce breast cancer? During the last year, a
case of reconstructed breast with prosthesis which leaked was
presented. The aim of this report is to review current literature to
evaluate whether there are reported correlations between breast
cancer and breast implants. The conclusion derived from this
report is that there is no available evidence directly correlating
breast cancer to breast implants.
