FDA issues new information on cases of squamous cell carcinoma and lymphomas around breast implants

16 Mar, 2023 | 13:28h | UTC

Summary: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has provided an update on reports of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the scar tissue (capsule) that forms around breast implants. The FDA is aware of 19 cases of SCC in the capsule around the breast implant from published literature, including 3 reports of deaths from the disease.

While the FDA continues to believe that occurrences of SCC in the capsule around the breast implant may be rare, the cause, incidence, and risk factors remain unknown. Health care providers and people who have or are considering breast implants should be aware that cases of SCC and various lymphomas in the capsule around the breast implant have been reported to the FDA and in the literature.

The FDA continues to ask health care providers and people with breast implants to report cases of SCC, lymphomas, or any other cancers around breast implants.

Instant noodle burns common in pediatric scald injuries: Study highlights need for prevention efforts

21 Feb, 2023 | 11:50h | UTC

Summary: The study examined pediatric scald burns at the University of Chicago Burn Center between 2010 and 2020 and found that 31% of burns were attributed to instant noodles. Children with instant noodle burns were typically older, more likely to be Black/African American, and from lower socio-economic backgrounds. They were also more likely to be unsupervised at the time of the injury. While instant noodle burns were smaller and required less operative intervention than other scald burns, some still required hospitalization and were associated with complications. The study highlights the need for targeted burn prevention efforts to reduce the incidence of these common but serious injuries.
