The expert group did find an increased risk of one extremely rare cancer - anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) from all breast implants.
If existing studies are too weak to support the use of breast screening, then the chances of organising large-scale replacements are slim, as these would have to involve a sizeable "control" sample who would not be screened for the purposes of comparison.
