Yes, individuals with silicone breast implants can still develop Breast cancer. Silicone breast implants are not known to increase the risk of breast cancer, but they do not provide immunity against the disease either. Breast cancer can occur in the breast tissue surrounding the implant, just as it can occur in natural breast tissue.
It's important for individuals with breast implants to continue practicing breast self-exams, undergo regular clinical breast examinations, and follow recommended breast cancer screening guidelines, including mammograms if applicable. Any changes in the breasts, such as new lumps, changes in breast size or shape, nipple discharge, or skin changes, should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare provider, regardless of whether silicone implants are present. Early detection and treatment of breast cancer offer the best chance for successful outcomes.
