Over the last few years a concern has been raised about the relationship of any silicone based implant, saline or gel filled, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The association was initially raised when a certain type of manufacturing process used for some McGhan-Allergan, Nagor and PIP implants seemed to be associated with a small number of T-CELL Non Hodgkins Anaplastic Lymphomas. This issue is being carefully monitored by a committee of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Recent research suggests that such a link is unlikely The sensible thing to do if you have such an implant is to contact your plastic surgeon for further advice.
