Background: Cell-assisted lipotransfer involves enrichment of autologous fat with supraphysiologic numbers of adipose-derived stem cells to improve graft take. Adipose-derived stem cells have been shown to promote cancer progression, raising concerns over the safety of adipose-derived stem cells and cell-assisted lipotransfer in postoncologic breast reconstruction. The authors compared the effect of adipose-derived stem cells alone, cell-assisted lipotransfer, and conventional fat grafting on breast cancer growth and metastasis.
