BIA-ALCL in Texas — FAQ
Is BIA-ALCL the same as breast cancer?
No. BIA-ALCL is a lymphoma — a cancer of the immune system — not breast cancer, which arises in breast glandular tissue. The two are evaluated and treated differently.
Can I do a virtual consultation first?
Yes. Most out-of-town Texas patients begin with a virtual consultation to review implant history, imaging, and any pathology findings before planning surgery.
Does Dr. Whitfield provide chemotherapy for BIA-ALCL?
No. The practice provides oncologic-adequacy surgical management and coordinates any needed systemic therapy with medical oncology and hematology. It is not positioned as a chemotherapy or oncology treatment center.
