Abstract 4077: Adipose-derived stem cells after Paclitaxel treatment demonstrate decreased function and suppression of breast cancer cell viability

Background: Following neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer resections, poor soft tissue wound healing can pose a major clinical challenge. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) in clinically applied stromal vascular fractions are considered to play a positive role in wound healing (SVF) as evidenced by their increasing use in breast reconstructive procedures. Our study evaluated the potential confounding effects of Paclitaxel (PTX)...
