Summary:
The Associated Press reports on a new procedure using fat stem cells to repair breast defects:
"For the first time, doctors have used stem cells from liposuctioned fat to fix breast defects in women who have had cancerous lumps removed. The approach, still experimental, holds promise for millions of women left with cratered areas and breasts that look very different from each other after cancer surgery. It might also be a way to augment healthy breasts without using artificial implants."
