IntraOp Medical Corporation Delivers Mobetron to Leading Cancer Center in The Netherlands

Medisch Centrum Haagland (Westeinde Hospital) newest customer to leverage IntraOp's advanced intraoperative electron radiation therapy system

Sunnyvale, California; September 26, 2006 IntraOp Medical Corporation (OTCBB: IOPM), a provider of innovative technology solutions for the treatment and eradication of cancer, today announced that it has delivered a Mobetron® to the MCH Westeinde Hospital in The Hague. MCH is one of the major cancer centers in The Netherlands and treats more than 2000 patients each year. The Mobetron system is designed exclusively for intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT), which is the direct application of radiation to a tumor while a patient is undergoing cancer surgery. This will be only the second IOERT system in The Netherlands.

Medical Center Haaglanden (MCH) is the second Dutch Hospital to take delivery of a Mobetron. Dr. Joost van der Sijp, the oncology surgeon, and Professor Doctor Henk Struikmans, the radiation oncologist, are responsible for developing the IOERT program at MCH. They state: "We are looking forward to getting our Mobetron in clinical operation. In addition to using IOERT for rectal cancer, we plan to use it for breast conserving therapy in early stage breast cancer patients."

"It is a privilege to be working with an institution like MCH," said Donald A. Goer, President and Chief Executive Officer of IntraOp. "MCH has a strong commitment to integrate IOERT into their cancer program. It is centers like MCH that make a real difference in the lives of the patients they treat."

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 the costly renovations required to accommodate traditional radiation therapy devices. Key patient benefits of this early and powerful start to radiation therapy include: increased survival rates, better local tumor control, shorter treatment cycles, and fewer side effects.

Medical Center Haaglanden in The Hague and Leidschendam is one of eighteen comprehensive cancer centers in the Netherlands that provide cancer treatment to the 16 million people in the Netherlands.

Of note, the Mobetron was originally going to be purchased with private funds from an investment group, but the Health Care Institutions subsequently agreed to financially support this initiative.
