Today an important update from 7 on your side. Kimberly . Kimberly that is right. We will show you the important study just released that confirms certain Breast Implants can cause a certain kind of cancer. A local vet tells me if its too cold for you, its too cold for your animals. Im amy aubert with tips on how larry 7 on your side in health matters. If you have Breast Implants and 600,000 got them in 2017. Consumer investigator kimberly suiters broke the story last february that there appeared to be a link between implants and cancer. Now a big study says its more than a connection. Kimberly the implant cause the cancer. In certain patients. According to the groundbreaking study published by the journal of the American Medical Association oncology. Essentially it eliminates the need for that question mark. This is the largest study of its kind evaluating the entire population of the netherlands where medical reporting is mandatory. It confirmed 100 that te implant caused lymphoma to develop. If you have textured Breast Implant you have a 420 fold risk to develop alcl. Out of 7,000 women who will get implants one will develop this lymphoma. This is still a rare cancer and a highly treatable cancer and these are with the textured, teardrop implants less common in the u. S. The theory is in some patients there is an allergic reaction to surface of the implants. The take away here in the country is plastic surgeons must talk it over with the patients who have the implants and want them about the risks. Doctors and the patients must do a better job reporting the problems. Now back to you. Larry thank you. Well, for many animals the bitter temperatures are too much.
