Breast implants 'have no cancer link' says UK watchdog

Women with silicone breast implants made by a French company should not be removed, say British officials.

French authorities will decide soon whether women should have implants supplied by Poly Implant removed Prothese (PIP), amid fears of health risks.

But the UK Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Agency says none of the available data on possible links with cancer, support the removal.

Believed that up to 40,000 British women have silicone implants PIP.

In a statement, the agency said: "The MHRA has considered the available data on the association of cancer for women with breast implants, in consultation with relevant professional bodies in the United Kingdom for breast surgery and surgical oncology and concluded concluded that there is insufficient evidence to show any association with cancer.

"In addition, the MHRA worked with the registry of cancer and could find no evidence of any association.

"The current MHRA advice for women with any breast implant is still that women worry about their breasts or believe that the implants can rupture, should seek clinical advice from the implant surgeon."

A statement from the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (BAPRAS), said: «BAPRAS has not yet seen the evidence that health problems can be caused by breast implants PIP and will fully evaluate all that is available .

"These implants have a higher failure rate so there will be women who may choose to have their implants removed before this happens, others will be happy to follow."
French survey

This meant a low-cost devices were more likely to divorce - 10% of them did so within the first year - when, on average, the implants should last 10 years.

More than 300,000 implants are believed to have been sold worldwide since the EDP over the past 12 years.

French authorities say they will decide this week whether to ask the women, since the type of breast implant to remove.

The French government has set up a special committee to consider the issuehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif.

PIP went into administration last year and the use of implants were banned.

Since the defects were discovered, 523 implants have been removed, according to the newspaper Le Monde of France.

Eight cases of cancer have so far been reported in patients with implants PIP, Director of the French Directorate General for Health, Mr Jean-Yves Grall, told the newspaper Liberation. A ninth patient in Gers died of cancer last year.

But the head of the National Cancer Institute of France, Dominique Maraninchi, said last week the cases were not necessarily defective implants.
