[The adipose tissue transfer in the mammary parenchyma (part II): Review of the literature on the carcinologic risks].
The adipose tissue transfer in the mammary parenchyma is a controversial area that generates passionate debates both in France and abroad. This second article presents a review of the literature on the interactions of fat transfer and the risk of developing breast cancer. Analysis of the results of the fundamental literature on the effects of adipose tissue in breast cancer development is troubling. At this stage, these results can not be transposed to humans as there are no studies showing a clinical correlation with suspected factors. It is difficult today to propose a pragmatic attitude on the transfer fat tissue into the breast. Given the results of the literature, we believe that the recommendations of caution of various scientific societies is well justified. The development of prospective study seems necessary to address this controversial issue.
