Recent controversy has arisen regarding the potential carcinogenesis of medical silicone-gel as used in breast implants. A review of the pertinent literature shows that although rodents do demonstrate the development of sarcomas to any inert material, including silicone-gel, the phenomenon is species specific. No clinical evidence of carcinogenesis in humans has been noted in more than 25 years of use. We conclude that silicone-gel breast implants are safe.
近期，关于用于隆胸植入物的医用硅胶凝胶的潜在致癌性引发了争议。对相关文献的综述表明，尽管啮齿动物确实会对包括硅胶凝胶在内的任何惰性材料产生肉瘤，但这种现象具有物种特异性。在超过25年的使用中，尚未发现人类致癌的临床证据。我们得出结论，硅胶凝胶隆胸植入物是安全的。
