Primary NHMECs were derived from tissues salvaged at reduction mammoplasty and obtained through the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (National Cancer Institute and National Disease Research Interchange, Bethesda, MD). In Surgery of the Breast, Spear notes: "Although management of the tuberous breast and other complex anomalies may at first appear like a variant of cosmetic breast surgery and augmentation mammoplasty, in fact, many of these cases require techniques more akin to breast reconstruction. Breast surgeries were divided into the following four categories on the basis of expected infection risk: 1) limited procedures, including reduction mammoplasty, mastopexy without implant, and mastectomy without axillary dissection or reconstruction; 2) procedures that involve implants; 3) mastectomy with axillary dissection; and 4) procedures that include reconstruction. |
