If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Breast Implants & Cancer (5387274671).svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
