Safety of adipose-derived cell (stromal vascular fraction - SVF) augmentation for surgical breast reconstruction in cancer patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study does not produce any data suggesting increased cancer risk following breast reconstruction after a mastectomy or a lumpectomy combined with local radiotherapy. It may be concluded that an autologous transplantation of fat augmented with ASC is a safe and efficient procedure. Longer observation time and the observation of larger numbers of patients would be useful for strengthening the conclusion. PMID: 29989681 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
