Abstract

This meta-analysis aims to determine whether autologous fat grafting (AFG) affects the risk of local-regional recurrence (LRR) in breast cancer patients. In pooled analyses of 11 eligible studies, AFG was not associated with increased LRR. Subgroup analyses showed that AFG did not increase the risk of LRR in patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy, in patients with in situ carcinomas or invasive carcinomas, or in patients undergoing postoperative radiotherapy.
