[Column] Stem Cell Treatment for Accessory Breast Cancer Causing Breast Cancer: The Importance of Choosing the Right Hospital

​Many women are troubled by the unspoken worry of bulging fat in the armpit area above their breasts. It stands out particularly when they fold their arms or gather their breasts, and wearing a bra detracts from their physical appearance. Although they briefly assume it is just fat accumulated from weight gain, a growing number of women give up on managing their condition as the fat does not go away no matter how much they diet.

Although not widely known, in such cases, the area in question is highly likely to be an accessory breast. Simply put, an accessory breast means a 'second breast'.

In human fetuses, a tail exists during the embryonic stage but disappears. Similarly, mammary gland and breast tissues are established during the fetal stage, with a total of 12 tissues—six on the left and six on the right—extending from the groin to the upper chest; most of them degenerate, leaving one on each side to develop into breasts.

However, in some individuals, the tissue does not degenerate but develops into a separate breast. This is referred to as an accessory breast, where internal mammary gland tissue develops like a breast, and in severe cases, a nipple or areola may form, causing embarrassment for some women.

Medically, accessory breasts are classified as a surgical condition. According to the International Breast Society and SCI journals, cases of actual breast cancer occurring in accessory breasts are reported quite frequently. Therefore, they should not be simply dismissed as a physical defect, but should be actively diagnosed and treated to eliminate potential problems.

Treatment for accessory breasts is mostly performed through surgical procedures. Abnormally developed mammary gland tissue within the accessory breast is removed, and if necessary, fat deposited in the area is suctioned out before suturing.

The problem is that since most accessory breasts develop around the normal breast, their removal can leave scars in that area or cause damage to tissues such as mammary glands or nerves within the breast. In cases where the accessory breast is excessively developed, it may divert fat away from the normal breast, resulting in underdeveloped breast tissue.

Therefore, if you are considering the removal of accessory breasts, you should also keep in mind breast augmentation or reconstruction to resolve the issue more completely. Personally, I recommend undergoing stem cell breast augmentation concurrently to remove surgically damaged surrounding tissue, restore the body's physiological homeostasis, and overcome postoperative complications.

Stem cells contribute to the formation of blood vessels and tissue regeneration within the body, while secreting various growth factors to promote the activation of existing somatic cells. When stem cells are injected during breast augmentation, they can increase the survival rate of transplanted fat cells, thereby reducing surgical side effects and inducing rapid recovery of damaged areas.

However, if you wish to undergo accessory breast removal and stem cell breast augmentation together, you must be careful when selecting a hospital. There are cases where unverified pseudo-stem cell procedures are performed using substandard equipment or by unskilled medical staff, leading to side effects or accidents. If you are considering surgery, it is advisable to decide on the procedure after verifying that the hospital possesses specialized equipment for stem cell extraction, purification, and injection, and that it is a specialized stem cell breast augmentation clinic staffed with competent medical professionals.
