Monash Cancer Centre is the second international site to participate in iCAD’s clinical trial evaluating the Xoft System for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer, called the ExBRT trial (“A Safety and Efficacy Study of Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy [IORT] Using the Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy [eBx®] System at the Time of Breast Conservation Surgery for Early-Stage Breast Cancer”).
“Intraoperative radiotherapy will offer women with early-stage breast cancer another therapeutic option, and, we believe, a better patient experience with less treatment morbidity, and a more rapid return to normal activity. As well as our current commitment to the study, we hope the breast service and other Monash Cancer Centre tumor services, will be able to contribute to understanding the use of this technology in other disease types and stages,” said Dr. Jane Fox, Director, Breast Services, Monash Health. “We are encouraged by the research to date as the global community of treatment centers continues to provide appropriate patients with the unique option to complete a full dose of radiation therapy in a single treatment.”

“Monash Cancer Centre’s participation in the ExBRT trial offers important growth of the body of international clinical data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the Xoft System for appropriate patients,” added Mr. Ferry. “We remain committed to continuing to expand research to identify additional treatment areas like IORT that have the potential to transform the treatment of cancer for patients worldwide.”
