Breast Implant Adverse Events During Mammography
http://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A2=i...&O=D&F=&S=&P=53
An FDA study on problems with mammography for women with breast
implants was published in the Journal of Women's Health in May, 2004
(1). The preliminary results of this study were presented at the FDA
Science Forum in April, 2003.
The study was a review of adverse event reports from the FDA's
Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database
(http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/databases.html).
Researchers found 66
reports thatmentioned problems with mammography for women with breast
implants.
The majority (62.1%) of problems reported were for breast implant
rupture that was suspected to occur during mammography. Rupture
during compression for mammography was reported for both silicone
gel-filled and saline-filled breast implants. Other adverse events
reported to FDA included implants crushed by mammographic compression,
pain during mammography attributed to the implants, inability to
perform mammography because of capsular contracture or because of fear
of implant rupture, and delayed detection of cancer attributed to the
breast implants. It is unknown how often these problems occur
because the MAUDE database cannot be used to determine rates of
problems occurring.
FDA researchers also reviewed published medical literature on
mammography for women with breast implants. Their review found
medical reports describing:
* an additional 17 reported cases of breast implant
rupture during mammographic compression
* breast implant interference with imaging breast
tissue, with between 22% and 83% of mammographically visualizable
breast tissue obscured by breast implants
* special techniques needed to maximize breast tissue
visualization for women with breast implants
* a delay in breast cancer detection in women with
implants, but without increased mortality to women with implants.
The risk for breast cancer does not differ in women with breast
implants compared to other women. Recommendations for breast cancer
screening also apply to women with breast implants. Women considering
breast implants should be aware of potential issues with mammography
in order to make an informed decision. Women who already have breast
implants should always inform the mammography center that they have
breast implants when they make an appointment and always remind the
mammography technician that they have breast implants when they go for
their exam.

I wonder if there are any messages in the original post that:
1) If you have an augmented breast, mammography should be contraindicated
2) It is not a good idea to have breast implant for later diagnostic exams
There is a mammography procedure Eklund method that the implant is
pushed back from the breast cavity (?). Therefore, the compression and
the film can miss the implant and press the breast tissue only. Don't
they do that?

| So why does it say "by Ilena Rose"? Did she conduct the study, is she FDA?
Is she showing us results from the study in her own words? If yes, I would
like to know what study it is and read it in its original form, not through
someone's perception.
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/breastimpla...rse-events.html
Word for word from that page, so why did she put her name there as if she is
the author or a conductor? That was misleading for me until I found the
source.
Also:
-- "Researchers found 66 reports that mentioned problems with mammography
for women with breast implants."
-- "an additional 17 reported cases of breast implant rupture during
mammographic compression"
!!! I am sure more women with breast implants get mammograms.
-- "The risk for breast cancer does not differ in women with breast implants
compared to other women"
!!! Proves the point over and over implants do not cause breast
cancer.

See? Ilena put 'by Ilena Rose' on there, didn't she?
When do people put 'by' on written material?
