Cell-enriched breast reconstruction method proves promising
This reconstruction method for patients who have undergone treatment for breast cancer is already proving successful, according to interim results from a European clinical trial, Restore 2. (See Biomedical Materials, December 2009, p 8.) These results show that the method achieved a high rate of patient and physician satisfaction and improvements in overall breast deformity in lumpectomy patients. These results are based on a six-month follow-up from the first 32 women enrolled and treated.
