It's very important that the capsule created by your body to surround the implant be fully removed as well as the implant itself. It's the biopsy of the capsule that is the most important part because it can reveal if you have Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. The abbreviation is BIA-ALCL. This is not a breast cancer per se. It's a cancer that occurs in other parts of the body. But the implants have caused this type of cancer to occur in reaction to the implants. So this cancer is not routinely looked for in the breasts. Which means that the pathologist will not be using the typical stains that are used to identify breast cancer, & therefore could potentially not ever diagnose you with this type of cancer which is caused by the implants. This type of cancer might need a different type of stain. Stains are chemicals placed on the microscopic glass slide that contains cells from your breast capsule. Certain stains cause different kinds of cells to light up or turn a certain color. It enables the pathologist to identify the cells that aren't normal or cells that shouldn't be there, such as antibodies or cancer cells or other things that are abnormal. There are many many types of stains. So it's very important that the pathologist is told to be on the lookout not only for regular breast cancer or anything else abnormal but to specifically search for the BIA-ALCL.
