			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SUNNYVALE, Calif &#8211; IntraOp Medical Corporation (OTC: IOPD.PK &#8211; News) is pleased to announce that the German Supreme Court dismissed the patent nullification case that IntraOp Medical had appealed, and have upheld IntraOp’s Mobetron patent for a mobile IOERT linear accelerator with “straight through” accelerator guide design without a bending magnet with a slight clarification.</p>
<p>IntraOp Medical’s European Patent EP 0 700 578 describes for the Federal Republic of Germany an electron linear accelerator treatment device, which is suitable for Intra-Operative Electron Beam Radiation Therapy (IOERT). This patent has been maintained with a slight revision to better clarify the device. The German text of the European Patent EP 0 700 578 may be obtained from the German Patent and Trademark Office Link.</p>
<p>“It is good to have this ruling validate the inventiveness of the Mobetron, which has provided the clinical community a totally new way to deliver IOERT. The Mobetron mobile IOERT technology has already enabled important clinical studies in early stage breast cancer, and clinical trials for pancreatic cancer and rectal cancer are being developed, These studies would not have been practical or even possible to implement without the Mobetron mobile IOERT development.” said Don Goer, Chief Scientist and founder of IntraOp. John Powers, IntraOp CEO further said “we will continue to aggressively defend our patents. This decision clearly helped reinforce the strength of our IP.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Doctors from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, The Ohio State University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will collaborate on research, training and best practices for IOERT treatment</em></p>
<p><strong>Sunnyvale, California; February 13, 2008</strong> – IntraOp Medical Corporation (OTCBB: IOPM), announced today that two North American hospitals that use the Mobetron as part of their cancer treatment protocol will welcome doctors from the Cancer Institute &amp; Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS), for a scholarly exchange on intraoperative electron-beam radiation therapy (IOERT). Radiation and surgical oncologists from The Ohio State University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will embark on a long-term commitment to international education and research collaboration by sharing their facilities with their peers from CAMS for two weeks beginning on February 15, 2008.<br />
The premier cancer research and treatment center in China, CAMS conducts more than 10,000 cancer operations each year. In one month, CAMS doctors perform more than 900 cancer surgeries. This is equivalent to the annual volume of cancer surgeries of many U.S. hospitals. CAMS installed IntraOp’s Mobetron in the fall of 2007, and in doing so became the first hospital in China to offer operating room-based IOERT. While the Mobetron is currently being used by CAMS to treat China’s growing number of lung cancer cases, the facility’s doctors are also eager to learn how fellow surgeons and radiologists are using the Mobetron to fight other disease types, including colorectal, head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer and breast cancer.<br />
In order to facilitate this learning process, Don Goer, IntraOp founder and chief scientist, along with Dr. John C. Grecula, M.D., a radiation oncologist at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute at Ohio State, traveled to Beijing to conduct a week-long IOERT symposium for more than 150 cancer specialists at CAMS in October, 2007. Dr. Grecula presented on practical topics, such as room and patient set-up, as well as IOERT treatment options for advanced head and neck and colorectal cancers.<br />
This symposium marked the beginning of IntraOp’s commitment to bringing cutting-edge cancer centers together to continue the IOERT learning process. The CAMS doctors arrive in the United States on February 14 and will visit four hospitals that currently use the Mobetron as part of their cancer-fighting regimen.<br />
The CAMS practitioners participating in this scholarly exchange include Dr. Tiecheng Wu, thoracic surgeon and associate professor; Dr. Qi Xue, general surgeon and associate professor; Dr. Jun Zhang, thoracic surgeon and associate professor; Dr. Minghui Li, radiation oncologist; Dr. Xiuhong Wu, medical physicist; and Jun Zhao, chief operating room nurse. On February 15, the CAMS scholars will visit The University of California at San Francisco, home of the first Mobetron, to share their experiences with the doctors on staff. They will discuss best practices for using the Mobetron, as well as how IOERT can be used to treat many types of cancer. The CAMS group will reunite with Dr. Grecula at the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute at Ohio State for additional instruction on February 17 and will complete their trip with a visit to UNC to meet and collaborate with Dr. Benjamin Calvo, associate professor and chief of the division of surgical oncology. In addition to the above centers, St. Vincent’s Hospital of Indianapolis intends to support this training effort.<br />
“I am delighted to welcome the CAMS doctors and their staff to the United States as part of our ongoing collaboration on IOERT treatment techniques,” said Dr. Grecula. “CAMS is the most prestigious cancer research and treatment center in China. At the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, we share CAMS’ unwavering commitment to finding inventive new ways to eradicate even the most late-stage cancers.”<br />
“The Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill has utilized IOERT to treat patients afflicted with breast, colorectal and soft tissue tumors for the past 7 years,” said Dr. Ben Calvo, associate professor and chief divison of surgical oncology at the University of North Carolina. “The NIH funded Breast and GI S.P.O.R.E. (Special Projects of Research Excellence) grants held by our center permit significant translational science to study radiation responses of these tumors. It is our intent to develop strong clinical and basic science collaborations with our distinguished colleagues from CAMS.”<br />
“IntraOp has taken the lead in uniting the leading minds of IOERT,” said Dr. Jie He, vice-dean and professor and chairman of thoracic surgery, CAMS. “We think the Mobetron and IOERT will form an integral part of our cancer program, and we thank IntraOp and all of the facilities involved in the scholarly exchange for giving us the opportunity to come together and learn from one another’s IOERT techniques.”<br />
Dr. Peter Yu, IntraOp&#8217;s director of Far East operations, added, “CAMS sets the standard in China for cutting-edge cancer research and treatment. Doctors from regional cancer centers in China’s 30 provinces who will acquire Mobetrons in the future will travel to CAMS to learn the latest IOERT treatment options and techniques. In this regard, CAMS’ Mobetron will play a vital role in IOERT training not only for CAMS physicians, but also for the hundreds of surgical and radiation oncologists who train at CAMS and then return to their own hospitals across China.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Italy continues lead in Intraoperative Electron Radiation Therapy with Fifth Hospital Implementing the Mobetron</em></p>
<p><strong>Sunnyvale, California; November 25, 2008</strong> — IntraOp Medical Corporation (OTCBB: IOPM), a provider of innovative technology solutions for the treatment and eradication of cancer, announced today that it has received an order for the Mobetron from Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria “Ospedali Riuniti” Trieste in Northern Italy.</p>
<p>IntraOp’s Mobetron is a mobile device that delivers intraoperative electron-beam radiation therapy (IOERT) to a tumor site during cancer surgery. The Mobetron enables radiation and surgical oncologists to target the exact area that requires radiation and to deliver an effective dose of radiation directly to the affected tissue during surgery. Since the Mobetron is a mobile, self-shielded device, doctors will be able to move the Mobetron between operating rooms, avoiding the high cost of outfitting radiation rooms to accommodate traditional linear accelerators. Ospedali Riuniti will use the Mobetron to treat many forms of cancer but have acquired the device to specifically expand their treatment for breast cancer.</p>
<p>The radiotherapy facility at Ospedali Riuniti has been treating patients for over 40 years and has been a leader in implementing new technology for the treatment of cancer. As part of the oncology department, the radiotherapy department currently treats 1000 patients per year, and includes the Radiotherapy Comprehensive Division (Struttura Complessa di Radioterapia). This division deals with all aspects of care for cancer patients, ranging from treatment to medical advice.</p>
<p>Ospedali Riuniti will join a regional program with Centro di Riferimento Oncologico (CRO) in Aviano Italy, in an effort to provide the best cancer treatment possible to the region. CRO adopted the Mobetron in 2007 and is one of the few hospitals in Italy that has been given the status of Institute for Research in the Cure of Cancer and Scientific Study (“IRCSS” &#8211; Istituto per la Ricerca e la Cura del Cancro a Carattere Scientifico). Working with CRO will propel Ospedali Riuniti to be a leader in advanced cancer treatments. It will also give patients in the area an opportunity to take advantage of an innovative treatment that can significantly cut down on treatment time and side effects.</p>
<p>Chief Radiology Oncologist Dr. Aulo Beorchia played a key role in helping to bring IOERT and the Mobetron to the facility, and has been a pioneer in bringing the hospital to the forefront of cancer treatment. “We are truly excited to be joining CRO in providing IOERT to our cancer patients,” Beorchia said. “Working together, both parties will be able to expand research studies and give more patients the opportunity to receive the best treatment available. This is about quality of care, quality of life and curing the disease.”</p>
<p>“Dr. Beorchia and Ospedali Riuniti are passionate and dedicated to the fight against cancer,” said John Powers, CEO of IntraOp Medical. “We are glad to see Italy at the forefront of IOERT adaption and helping them to reach many new patients. Ospedali Riuniti has plans to participate with other Mobetron facilities in the Northern Region of Italy in joint trials on advance cancers that are especially well served by the Mobetron.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sunnyvale, California; September 17, 2010 — IntraOp Medical Corporation today announced that the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Medical Center has purchased two next generation Mobetrons for Intra-Operative Electron Radiation Therapy (IOERT). The Mobetrons will be located at the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and at the Parnassus Campus of the UCSF Medical Center.</p>
<p>UCSF Medical Center ranks among the nation’s top 10 premier hospitals for the tenth consecutive year according to the 2010-11 America’s Best Hospitals survey conducted by U.S. News &amp; World Report. UCSF is a recognized innovator in cancer treatment, and home of the world’s first Mobetron. The Mobetron has been used to integrate IOERT into cancer treatment programs since December 1997. The Mobetron at UCSF has been treated hundreds of advanced and recurrent cancers, such as recurrent head and neck cancer, mesothelioma, recurrent rectal cancer, neuroblastoma, extremity and retroperitoneal sarcomas, and pediatric cancers.<br />
“UCSF is committed to providing state-of-the-art, quality care to patients. IOERT focuses<br />
radiation directly where it is needed and avoids irradiating much of the healthy tissues. We look forward to making this therapy available to even more of our adult and pediatric cancer patients,” said Mack Roach, MD, chair of the UCSF Radiation Oncology Department.</p>
<p>IntraOp’s Mobetron is a mobile, self-shielded, technology that delivers radiation directly to a tumor site during cancer surgery without having to pass through the surrounding body structures. This procedure is called IOERT. The Mobetron enables radiation and surgical professionals to visually pinpoint the optimal site for radiation by seeing the exposed tumor bed and delivering a concentrated beam of radiation to a specific depth during cancer surgery. Clinical studies involving a number of cancer indications such as head and neck, sarcomas, colorectal, pancreatic, and breast, have shown that patients treated with IOERT often have fewer recurrences, which correlates to increased survival.</p>
<p>This purchase represents the 15th and 16th Mobetrons in the United States, and the 36th and 37th, worldwide. John Powers, CEO of IntraOp commented, “It is only fitting that our first customer be one of the first to have our next generation machine along with Avera McKennan Hospital, and The Cleveland Clinic. I am pleased to see Mobetron delivered IOERT grow in popularity worldwide.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sunnyvale Calif., Sept. 15, 2009&#8211;One-minute of radiation in the operating room (OR) could save the lives of thousands of women being treated for breast cancer in the US today. According to a growing body of research, a 30-second course of radiation therapy delivered during surgery dramatically improves results. But, until recently, logistical and administrative difficulties prevented most patients from receiving this crucial treatment until weeks after their procedures.<br />
Now, a portable, self-contained radiation therapy system, the Mobetron from IntraOp Medical Corporation (Sunnyvale, Calif.), is changing all that. St. Joseph Hospital (Orange, Calif.), one of only 16 prestigious designated National Cancer Institute Community Cancer Centers, this month introduced the first ongoing intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) program for breast cancer. During lumpectomy surgery, St. Joseph’s patients receive a high dose of therapy focused specifically on the tumor site, known as a “boost.” Given the benefits, other facilities are expected to follow suit.<br />
Felix Sedlmayer, MD, one of the world’s leading IOERT researchers and the principal investigator of IOERT boost trials conducted by six European medical centers over the past decade, concluded that IOERT cut breast cancer five year recurrence rates dramatically, from an average of 5% to less than 1%.<br />
“If the IOERT boost were a standard technique in the US, every year, more than 5000 breast cancer recurrences could have been be avoided,” according to Roland Reitsamer, MD, a surgeon at the University of Salzburg, where the technique has been studied extensively for the past decade. Each one of those recurrences typically would result in a subsequent mastectomy, which also would be avoided. A prestigious Lancet review of studies on breast cancer found a 25% increase in 15 year survival for patients with no recurrences at five years post-surgery, suggesting that IORT boost could have a significant impact on the survival of thousands of women worldwide.</p>
<p><strong>What every woman should know about intraoperative radiation</strong><br />
It seems a matter of common sense. Lumpectomy is typically followed by a six-week course of radiation therapy to help eliminate any remaining malignant cells. Treatment takes place at least four weeks after surgery when the breast has healed. Because traditional, post-operative radiation is delivered externally, it must pass through the body to reach diseased areas, and healthy tissue may be damaged in the process. Additionally, once surgery is complete, physicians no longer have direct access to the target area to easily and precisely deliver radiation.<br />
So why not begin the radiation treatment during the surgery itself? This would immediately target any remaining cancer cells, while allowing complete access to the tumor area for greater precision in radiation delivery. It also would spare radiation dose to surrounding tissue and reduce the number of days a woman has to travel to a cancer center for external treatment after surgery. In fact, at St. Joseph, IOERT will shorten the course of post-operative radiation by seven to 10 days by delivering the targeted boost dose prior to, rather than after, traditional treatments.<br />
“The answer is that intraoperative radiation simply hasn’t been practical until now,” explains John Powers, CEO for IntraOp. ”Without the Mobetron, the treatment would mean equipping a special operating room with a costly, unwieldy 18,000 pound linear accelerator to generate radiation as well as a shielded radiation vault to protect staff from repeated exposure to this radiation. This is just not feasible for most hospitals.”<br />
The other alternative, Mr. Powers points out, has been transferring patients under anesthesia with an open incision from the OR to a radiation therapy center, typically located offsite. This significantly increases the risk and duration of surgery and anesthesia. The result: despite its enormous benefits, IOERT has rarely been used in the US for breast patients.<br />
However, IORT has been heavily investigated in major European university hospitals and is currently in use in more than a dozen facilities. This is not surprising because historically the European medical system has been an early adopter of promising new paradigms for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, including mammography, breast conserving lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy.</p>
<p><strong>The Mobetron</strong><br />
Specifically optimized for IOERT, the IntraOp Mobetron incorporates a range of technological innovations to make all the benefits of this treatment realistic and practical for women and their doctors around the world. The innovative system eliminates the risk, time, cost and complexity of IOERT by enabling delivery in any standard OR.<br />
Unlike conventional linear accelerators, the Mobetron is relatively lightweight and can be wheeled among different OR locations. The Mobetron requires no external radiation vault or bunker because patented technologies eliminate most stray room radiation generated by conventional accelerators and because of its patented self-shielding,<br />
To operate the device, following tumor excision, a Mobetron applicator tube is temporarily inserted into the breast to provide precise treatment directly to the tumor bed. The Mobetron is positioned for radiation delivery, and the one-minute treatment takes place.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SUNNYVALE, Calif.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;IntraOp Medical Corporation (OTC: IOPD.PK &#8211; News) today announced that the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Tivoli (CHU Tivoli) became the third Belgium hospital and the fifteenth European hospital to purchase a Mobetron for Intra-Operative Electron Radiation Therapy (IOERT).<br />
“There is an increasing interest by Belgian hospitals to acquire IOERT capability”, says Guido Dutoit, Director of Dutoit Medical, Intraop Medical’s partner in the Benelux countries. “The clinical data showing the effectiveness of IOERT for breast cancer compared to the conventional treatment for breast cancer is very convincing, and Belgian hospitals are all looking to provide their patients the best breast cancer treatment possible—and that is IOERT.”<br />
IntraOp’s Mobetron is a mobile, self-shielded, technology that delivers radiation directly to a tumor site during cancer surgery without having to pass through the surrounding body structures. This procedure is called IOERT. The Mobetron enables radiation and surgical professionals to visually pinpoint the optimal site for radiation by seeing the exposed tumor bed and delivering a concentrated beam of radiation to a specific depth during cancer surgery. Clinical studies involving a number of cancer indications such as head and neck, sarcomas, colorectal, pancreatic, and breast have shown that patients treated with IOERT often have fewer recurrences, which correlates to increased survival.<br />
CHU Tivoli, in the city of La Louvière, is located about 60 km east of Brussels, and is one of the network of health care institutions of the Free University of Brussels. Its radiation oncology department is affiliated with the Institut Jules Bordet, a Mobetron user for the last two years.<br />
John Powers, IntraOp Medical’s CEO, strongly believes this is a trend that will continue to gain momentum. They recently restructured their long term debt to better position themselves to address this demand. “The increasing demand for the Mobetron and IOERT, is evident in Europe where IOERT has had a more than a decade of clinical history for breast cancer with less than 1% recurrence, compared to an average estimate of 7% in the US using conventional treatment. As further results are published, we expect the enthusiasm shown in Western Europe to continue to spread to other parts of the world. We already see this trend as our Mobetron centers in the Far East and five of our U.S. centers are now using or planning to use the Mobetron for the treatment of breast cancer”.</p>
