Mississippi Breast Implant Lawyers for Allergan BIA-ALCL Cancer Claims
Textured implants have been used in a variety of Mississippi breast augmentation and reconstruction surgeries. Many women have received the implants while undergoing a cosmetic breast lift or plastic surgery. In addition, the troubled implant has been used in reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy.
Mississippi breast implant lawyers have now focused on a disturbing statistic regarding a unique form of lymphoma cancer. Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. While BIA-ALCL is quite rare, the majority of cases are linked to textured breast implants.
Compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and more.
This cancer appears prone to occurrence in scar tissue or fluid inside the surgical site. Specifically, scar tissue encapsulating the textured breast implant may develop cancerous cells. MS breast implant lawyers attribute this to slight decay of the implant’s texturing inside the body.
However, it is important to note that BIA-ALCL is not breast cancer. Rather, it is a cancer of the immune system effecting the body’s T-cells. Nevertheless, as with all forms of cancer, there is a risk it may spread to nearby organs or throughout the body.
BIA-ALCL linked to textured breast implant in Mississippi cancer lawsuit:
- Implant used in breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery
- Linked to development of cancer in scar tissue around implant
- Not a type of breast cancer
Treatment for BIA-ALCL typically involves prompt removal of the breast implants. In addition, cancerous scar tissue encapsulating the implant is likely to be surgically removed as well.
It is normal for patients to at times feel overwhelmed by the treatment and recovery process. However, disruption of income or incurrence of medical expenses need not cause additional distress. By filing a Mississippi textured breast implant lawsuit, our attorneys expect to obtain significant compensation from Allergan for our clients.
