France to ban popular breast implants over cancer risk: media.

France is to ban a popular type of breast implant which has been linked to a rare form of cancer, Le Monde newspaper and French public radio reported Wednesday, citing a letter from health authorities to implant manufacturers.

The ANSM, which has been tracking wearers of breast implants since 2011, is expected to formally announce its decision on Thursday. Breast implants are used in breast enhancements, or for reconstructive purposes after a mastectomy for breast cancer.
