NASHUA, NH and MIAMI (Booth #T6) March 9, 2017 - iCAD, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICAD), an industry-leading provider of advanced image analysis, workflow solutions and radiation therapy for the early identification and treatment of cancer, today announced that more than 3,000 early-stage breast cancer patients have been treated with intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) using the Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx®) System®. The Xoft System and its suite of products will be showcased in the Xoft booth (#T6) during Physicians’ Education Resource® (PER)’s 34th Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel in Miami Beach, FL from March 9-12, 2017.
“The growing adoption and utilization of Xoft IORT further validates that it is a safe and effective treatment option, offering valuable benefits to early-stage breast cancer patients who meet specific selection criteria,” said Ken Ferry, President and Chief Executive Officer of iCAD. “The treatment of more than 3,000 patients with IORT using the Xoft System is a significant milestone and highlights the continued commitment by leading clinicians to make this clinically proven treatment option available to their patients.”
IORT is a procedure that allows radiation oncologists and breast cancer surgeons to work together to deliver a full course of radiation treatment in one day to select women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Traditional external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) involves daily radiation treatments for six to eight weeks, while IORT with the Xoft System can be completed in as little as eight minutes. IORT delivers a full course of targeted radiation from inside the body, directly within the tumor cavity, targeting cancer cells and reducing the risk of damage to nearby healthy tissue including tissue in the heart, lungs, and ribs. A growing body of favorable clinical data supports the use of IORT in candidates meeting specific selection criteria.

“IORT with the Xoft System offers patients a number of unique benefits, including shorter treatment times, fewer side effects, reduced costs and added convenience compared to traditional treatment,” said Barbara Schwartzberg, M.D., FACS, breast surgeon, Sarah Cannon/HealthONE, Rose Medical Center. “By treating early-stage breast cancer in just one day, eligible patients are often able to return to their daily lives within days and better maintain their quality of life.”
Dr. Schwartzberg will be present in the Xoft booth (#T6) during exhibit breaks on March 9-11 to discuss her clinical experience with Xoft IORT with conference attendees.
