BIA-ALCL (Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma) is an uncommon lymphoma that has only been reported in patients with a history of a textured breast implant device. When caught early, it may be curable in most patients.

The following advisory represents a collaborative effort between ASPS and ASAPS to produce biannual updates on recent disease developments, government regulatory communications, and consensus recommendations. 

This advisory is structured as a Q&A, which covers various topics on the condition including symptoms, treatment as well as further readings.
