Infections in Breast Implants

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1989
Infection following breast implants is an uncommon event. This is somewhat surprising, since the human breast is not a sterile anatomical structure. The flora found in the breast are derived from the nipple ducts and closely resemble those of normal skin. These organisms, predominantly S.

Breast Implants and Breast Cancer Screening

Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, 2003
Concern about breast prostheses impairing breast cancer detection has become a priority issue. This article provides a review of the literature on the influence of implants on early detection methods of breast cancer, specifically breast self‐examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE), and mammography.
