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. RI 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.

- Implant used in breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery
- Linked to development of cancer in scar tissue around implant
- Not a type of breast cancer
