This includes those procedures whereby the grafting was enriched with stem cells derived from adipose tissue and regenerative cells (ADRCs).

This analysis is consistent with pre-clinical studies, demonstrating Cytori Therapeutics enriched cell grafting fat did not increase the risk of developing breast cancer or metastases that in some situations, actually reduced the growth of cancer.

"There is a greater demand patient and physician for our technologies and this careful review supports our view that our recommended fat grafting techniques are safe in the breast. We will continue to conduct our security research and analyze data from outside sources for Cytori Therapeutics, as part of legislative progress and the final adoption of our products. "
