Summary

Breast cancer-related lymphedema is one of the most common and feared consequences of breast cancer treatment. Currently, lymphedema is primarily addressed conservatively with compression garments. Regenerative medicine may provide a new treatment option for lymphedema. This Phase 3 trial will examine the efficacy, effectiveness and safety of freshly isolated adipose-derived stromal cells administered in conjunction with a fat grafting procedure to the affected axillary region.
