There is international concern over BIA-ALCL and this paper by Peter Cordeiro adds significantly to our knowledge of the disease.

There is international concern over BIA-ALCL and this paper by Peter Cordeiro adds significantly to our knowledge of the disease.

However, as well as adding to our understanding, it also brings to light additional questions and challenges for the international regulatory and surgical communities.
