Recently, US health authorities have announced that implants used in breast surgery can cause rare cancers. The US emblazoned implant was made by Ullangang, USA, and it is being recovered in Korea. As a result of our coverage, over 110,000 implants have been imported and distributed.

Breast implants that have been taken out of the drug store are the rough surface breast implants of the US-based Erlangen.

Due to the complaint that the smooth surface of the existing implant appears unnatural, this product features a rugged surface that is better adhered to the skin.

Because of its natural shape, it attracted great popularity in the name of so-called 'droplet molding'.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Tuesday that the company's silicone gel artificial breast is six times more likely to suffer from "reverse-formed cell lymphoma", a type of rare blood cancer.

In the past three years, about 29,000 of these products have been distributed.

By the way, SBS got the recall plan that I reported to the Elaanim II, and I got a total of 117,000.

There are about 3,000 products left on the market.

Patients who underwent surgery are anxious.

In particular, patients with breast cancer have been using Allergan products for more than 5,700 people who have undergone surgery since 2015, when health insurance was introduced into breast cancer reconstruction surgery.

[Allergan 'rough surface implant' use reconstructive surgery patients: (breast cancer) I had to undergo surgery after three years, three years, so I had to reconstruct one side. As Elleran. It's like living with a time bomb ... Really, I'm more sick than when I got a cancer test.]

Some point out that you should look at the entire artificial breast implants on rough surfaces.

Since 2007, more than 210,000 have been distributed.

[Jae Hong Kim, MD / Chairman, Korean Breast Implants Research: Ulleran's implant is the most reported (rare cancer), but because of the coarse surface type of the implant of another company, it is safe to say that it is not an ulcer implant. There is no number ... The most important thing is to check your implant.]

The sheriff said that removal surgery is not necessary if there are no symptoms.

[Choi Choi, Right Futsal Party Member / National Health and Welfare Commissioner of the National Health Service: The drug dispensation agency is only moving product collection, patient identification and treatment costs to (import) company.]

Although there have been no reports of cases of such rare cancers in the country yet, there is a clearer guideline for patient anxiety.
