Oncologic Safety of Fat Grafting for Autologous Breast Reconstruction in an Animal Model of Residual Breast Cancer
Conclusions:
Adipose transfer for breast reconstruction performed in the setting of residual breast tumor in a clinically relevant animal model did not increase tumor size, proliferation, histologic grade, or metastatic spread. This study supports the oncologic safety of lipofilling as part of the surgical platform for breast reconstruction after cancer therapy.
