Mobetron Delivers Intraoperative Electron Radiation Therapy to Patients as They Undergo Surgery--Safely and QuicklySUNNYVALE, Calif.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--IntraOp Medical Corporation (OTCBB:IOPM ), a provider of innovative technology solutions for the treatment and eradication of cancer, today announced it has delivered Mobetron® to St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital. A fully portable, self-shielded electron-beam radiation unit, Mobetron directly delivers intraoperative electron radiation therapy ("IOERT") to patients as they undergo surgery in a highly safe and efficient manner. Indianapolis is the first city to have more than one Mobetron; the solution is also currently available at Clarion Methodist Hospital.
Mobetron will be used at St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital to safely and efficiently treat a wide variety of cancers. With Mobetron, radiation and surgical oncologists can pinpoint the exact area that requires radiation and immediately deliver high doses directly to the affected tissue during cancer surgery. Hospitals can wheel Mobetron between existing operating rooms without investing in costly renovations to accommodate traditional radiation therapy devices. Key patient benefits of this early and powerful start to radiation therapy include: better local tumor control, increased survival rates, shorter treatment cycles, and fewer side effects.
Donald A. Goer, president and CEO of IntraOp Medical Corporation said, "We are very pleased that St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital has selected Mobetron as a core component of its cancer treatment program. This latest delivery demonstrates a continued interest and demand for IOERT solutions from leading cancer care facilities. We look forward to continuing to provide the most advanced tools doctors need to administer radiation therapy safely and effectively and, most importantly, to help save lives."
