IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

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. Materials and methods: 464 AFT patients were exactly matched with a cohort of 3100 control patients treated between 2007 and 2017. A multivariate survival analysis was performed accounting for all variables related to LRR and DM, including adjuvant/neoadjuvant treatments. End-points were analyzed both overall and in each molecular subtype. Results: LRR occurred in 6.4% of AFT and in 5.0% of control patients (p = 0.42), while DM were observed respectively in 7.7% and 5.4% of cases (p = 0.20). AFT showed no effect on the 10-year LRR-free survival probability (adjusted HR 0.87, 95%CI 0.43–1.76, p = 0.69)or the 10-year DM-free survival probability (adjusted HR 0.82, 95%CI 0.43–1.57, p = 0.55). Luminal A patients treated by AFT showed a decreased LRR-free survival probability (HR 2.38, 95%CI 0.91–6.17, Log-Rank p = 0.07), which was significantly lower than controls after 80 months (Log-Rank p = 0.02). No differences in the 10-year event-free survival probability were found in Luminal B, HER2-positive or triple-negative patients. Conclusion: AFT does not increase breast cancer recurrence, with the possible exception of late LRRs for Luminal A patients, but further clinical and preclinical data are required to better clarify this data. The use of AFT should not be discouraged.
