Autologous Fat Grafting in Radiated Soft Tissue Reconstruction

Completed

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Radiation Fibrosis, Fat Grafting

In brief

The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of autologous fat grafting on soft tissue reconstruction of the breast following radiation treatment. Moving fat from one part of the body to another has been used for reconstruction for hundreds of years. However, it is not fully understood how well this works in reconstruction after radiation is used for cancer treatment.
