CHICAGO--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--CytoCore Inc. (OTCBB:CYOE), the developer of a suite of cost-effective cervical cell collection devices for the early detection of cancerous and precancerous conditions, announced today that Chief Executive Officer Robert McCullough, Jr. has purchased 189,000 shares of the Company's stock over the past weeks, at an average price of $0.26. Additionally, Summitcrest Capital LP, of which Mr. McCullough is the President, purchased 463,900 shares of the Company's common stock in a range of $0.17 to $0.31.

"The investments I continue to make in our company reflect my confidence in CytoCore's prospects for 2009," said Mr. McCullough. "I am optimistic about the introduction and launch of our SoftPAP® Collector, and the development of our Automated Image Proteomic Systems (AIPS) and related assays that could significantly improve the detection of cancerous and precancerous conditions."

In October CytoCore announced superior efficacy and safety results from its pivotal clinical study of the SoftPAP Collector and the standard Spatula/Cytobrush technique. The SoftPAP Collector versus the Spatula/Cytobrush showed a 26% reduction in false negatives where precancerous or cancerous conditions were not diagnosed in patients and a 33% improvement or reduction in false positives where patients have been inaccurately diagnosed as having precancerous or cancerous conditions. The Company believes the SoftPAP Collector offers faster, more accurate specimen collection with less possibility for error, and this data provides its distributors and contract sales force the needed ammunition as they introduce SoftPAP to customers.
