In the battle against the disease, it is vital to tell fact from fiction

Myth: Breast implants can cause breast cancer.

Truth: There’s no evidence that the risk of breast cancer is increased for someone with implants. There’s also no evidence that if a mammogram is done regularly with proper imaging, it will miss a cancer on breasts with implants.


Truth: Claims that underwire bras compress the lymphatic system of the breast, causing toxins to accumulate and cause breast cancer, have been debunked as unscientific. The consensus is that neither the type of bra you wear nor the tightness of your underwear or other clothing has any connection to breast cancer risk.
