Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Improve the Healing of Colonic Anastomoses Following High Dose of Irradiation Through Anti-Inflammatory and Angiogenic Processes

Cancer patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) could develop severe late side effects that affect their quality of life.Long-term bowel complications after RT are mainly characterized by a transmural fibrosis that could lead to intestinal obstruction.Today, surgical resection is the only effective treatment.However, preoperative RT increases the ri
