Description
Julie Kalstrup and co-authors count lymphomas among more than ten thousand Danish women with breast implants, in a 2026 study. A rare implant-linked lymphoma has worried patients and regulators, but solid rates were missing. Registry data followed the women for a median of seventeen years and compared other lymphoma rates with women who had breast reduction and with the general population.
Five cases of the implant-associated lymphoma appeared, giving roughly three cases per hundred thousand person-years for textured implants, a rate the authors call more precise and higher than most earlier estimates. Every textured type carried some risk, and other lymphomas matched background rates. No cases of the feared squamous cancer appeared.
