NASHUA, N.H. and DENVER, July 27, 2017 -- (Booth #6010) -- 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 researchers will present clinical data supporting use of the Xoft® Axxent® Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx®) System® for the treatment of endometrial cancer at the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Denver, Colorado from July 30 to August 3, 2017. iCAD will also showcase its multi-platform Xoft System and related suite of products at its booth (#6010) during the meeting.
“These preliminary data add to a growing body of clinical evidence demonstrating promising results in support of the clinical effectiveness of the Xoft System for patients and clinicians,” said Ken Ferry, CEO of iCAD. “The results support the proven benefits of the Xoft System and are another milestone in our ongoing commitment to providing the most innovative and advanced technologies in cancer treatment in the years ahead.”
Researchers from Miguel Servet University Hospital in Zaragoza, Spain will present preliminary findings from their recent clinical experience treating 36 endometrial cancer patients with electronic brachytherapy using the Xoft System at the AAPM meeting. The dosimetric analysis showed that electronic brachytherapy with the Xoft System delivered a lower dose of radiation to surrounding healthy organs at risk in patients with endometrial cancer, such as the bladder and rectum, than would have been delivered by treatment with Ir-192 or Co-60 sources.

“By precisely targeting cancer cells and sparing surrounding healthy tissue and organs, the Xoft System can successfully treat endometrial cancer while reducing the risk of exposure to surrounding tissue,” said Sergio Lozares, MD, Medical Physicist at Miguel Servet University Hospital. “We are encouraged by these early results demonstrating that the Xoft System can be a clinically valuable treatment option for appropriate patients.”
The results will be presented in a poster presentation during the meeting, the details of which are as follows:
