Abstract Breast reconstruction offers restoration of breast symmetry to such women who underwent mastectomy, achieved by creating a breast mound that is similar in size, shape, contour, and position to the opposite breast. Stem cell and tissue engineering approach is a promising field in breast reconstructive surgery. To understand the basic biology of stem cell is an important step in cell-based and tissue-constructed therapy for patients with breast reconstruction. Further challenges are how to reduce the complications, avoid tumor recurrence, and increase patient satisfaction with state-of-the-art stem cell and tissue engineering paradigm for breast reconstructive surgery.The psychological impact of surgery in breast cancer patients stems from fears which are two-fold: the fear of cancer recurrence and the fear of a negative cosmetic result, Better cosmetic results often produce better psychological outcomes. |
