Autologous fat transfer after breast cancer surgery: An exact-matching study on the long-term oncological safety

摘要

Introduction: Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is widely adopted for breast reconstruction, but its long-term oncologic safety is still not clearly established. The aim of the present study was to compare the 10-year loco-regional recurrence (LRR)-free and distant metastases (DM)-free survival probabilities in AFT vs. control patients, also evaluating the impact of AFT in different intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
