Autologous vs. alloplastic breast reconstruction – Differences in complication rates and long-term satisfaction

Objectives: High oncological safety as well as patient satisfaction regarding the aesthetic-functional result is of utmost importance in modern breast cancer management.
This study focuses on long term outcomes as well as patient-reported outcome in different breast reconstruction techniques. Data from this study is essential in offering an optimized, individual treatment plan.

Introduction: For breast reconstruction after mastectomy, alloplastic alternatives with silicone implants are available in addition to various autologous reconstruction options such as free flaps or autologous fat grafting. Previous studies have focused on the possible complications of the techniques in detail, but there have been no conclusive comparative studies to date. In addition, existing data from isolated studies on the quality of life, satisfaction, psychosocial and physical well-being of patients who underwent breast reconstruction after breast cancer is inconclusive and not comparable.

Materials / method: In the course of a multicenter retrospective data analysis, complication types and rates as well as several other patient- and surgery related factors were evaluated in free tissue transfer (deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap, transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, or latissimus flap), and the use of implants or tissue expanders for breast reconstruction after carcinoma therapy. Standardized Breast-Q questionnaires were used to analyze quality of life, satisfaction, psychosocial and physical well-being in different techniques.

Results: Within the study collective, significant differences regarding the complication types and rates were found and will be discussed together with the results of the current literature. Despite higher complication rates and number of revision surgeries, the long-term satisfaction was shown to be significantly higher in patients who underwent autologous breast reconstruction.

Conclusion: Significant differences in complication types and rates as well as long-term satisfaction were shown in different reconstruction techniques. Findings of these study may aid in preoperative decision-making along with patient-related factors, in order to generate the best result for each patient individually.

TNF-α-treated ADSCs enhance inherent radiation tolerance and alleviate breast implant capsular contracture

Objectives: This study investigates the potential of TNF-a-treated human ADSCs on silicone implants to alleviate RICC, hypothesizing to enhance suppressive effects on radiation-induced capsular contracture(RICC) by modulating inflammatory responses in a radiation-exposed environment.

Introduction: Post-mastectomy radiotherapy plays a crucial role in breast cancer treatment but can lead to an inflammatory response causing soft tissue damage, particularly radiation-induced capsular contracture (RICC), impacting breast reconstruction outcomes. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), known for their regenerative potential via paracrine capacity, exhibit inherent radiotolerance. The influence of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) on ADSCs has been reported to enhance the paracrine effect of ADSCs, promoting wound healing by modulating inflammatory responses.

Materials / method: In vitro, T-hASCs were cultured on various surfaces to assess viability after exposure to radiation up to 20 Gy. In vivo, T-hASC and non-TNF-a-treated hASC (C-hASCs)-coated membranes werevimplanted in mice before radiation exposure, and an evaluation of the RICC mitigation took place 4 and 8 weeks after implantation. In addition, the growth factors released from T-hASCs were assessed.

Results: In vitro, hASCs displayed significant radiotolerance, maintaining consistent viability after exposure to 10 Gy. TNF-a treatment further enhanced radiation tolerance, as evidenced by significantly higher viability than C-hASCs at 20 Gy. In vivo, T-hASC-coated implants effectively suppressed RICC, reducing capsule thickness. T-hASCs exhibited remarkable modulation of the inflammatory response, suppressing M1 macrophage polarization while enhancing M2 polarization. The elevated secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor from T-hASCs is believed to induce macrophage polarization.

Conclusion: This study establishes T-hASCs as a promising strategy for ameliorating the adverse effects experienced by breast reconstruction patients after mastectomy and radiation therapy. The observed radiotolerance, anti-fibrotic effects, and immune modulation suggest the possibility of enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life. Further research and clinical trials are warranted for broader clinical uses.
