Ever Injecting Liquid Silicone Milan Breast Cancer Detection

The woman who was once liquid injection silicone to enlarge the breasts will be hard to get early detection of breast cancer. From the results of early detection tools, such as ultrasound and mammography, doctors would difficult to distinguish between silicon liquid with the cancer in the breast.

"If its detection liquid silicone pemakain must use an MRI to distinguish where thesilicon, tissues of the body, and cancer," said dr Vera Nevyta Tarigan, SpRad in discussions in Siloam Hospital Kebon Jeruk, Jakarta, Thursday (9/1/2017).

Injection of liquid silicone to enlarge breasts actually misguided action. The plastic surgeon often reminds the public not to be tempted to offer breast enlarge with liquid silicone.

Silicone liquid contains chemicals and that means inserting a foreign object into the breast tissue. It increases the risk of recurrent infections.

Operation remove the silicone liquid would be very difficult because it's hard to distinguish between the molten silicon with a healthy breast tissue.

Early detection alone is very important do because every woman is at risk of developing cancer of the breast. If when doing a check of the breast itself (REALIZE) thesuspect lump of tumor, do further examination with ULTRASOUND or mammography.

Vera said, ultrasound has the accuracy of 65-75 per cent, while Mammography reaching 95 percent. For women aged over 45 years is recommended for routine early detection with mammography. Cancer that is found at an early stage will be more easily and quickly treated.
