Could a Patient's own blood and fat build a better breast after cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT07658170
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests a new approach to breast reconstruction after cancer surgery. Doctors take a patient's own fat and mix it with a substance made from their blood (platelet-rich fibrin) to create a 'lipobolus' that fills the gap left by tumor removal. The goal is to see how much of the graft survives after radiation therapy and whether the procedure is safe. The study involves 30 women with early-stage breast cancer who will be followed for 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Lipobolus (autologous fat mixed with platelet-rich fibrin and calcium chloride)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a safer, more natural way to reconstruct breast shape immediately after cancer surgery, potentially improving cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include graft failure, infection, or interference with cancer treatment.
