 variety of applications. In one study cancer recurred in only one of 180 women treated with cryoablation for low-risk breast cancers. 31 There are a number of ongoing trials in this area 32 , and cryoablation is offered for low-risk breast cancers at more than 20 tertiary cancer centers in the U.S. 33

Cryoablation of early-stage breast cancer is an exciting opportunity unique to the Company. Breast cancer cells are about 20 microns wide. A 1-cm cancer has about 100 million cells, a 0.5-cm cancer has about 10 million cells, and a 1-mm cancer has about 100 thousand cells. 34 The Company’s imaging can see the glandular structure of the breast and can see as few as a couple of thousand cells. These cancers of several hundred thousand cells are very low risk to the woman and are also easily eliminated 35 . There are currently limited ways to treat these small cancers using image guided procedures. The Company could offer a solution to this problem.

The Product

The product for image-guided procedures would be the Open Partial Angle Scanner augmented with enhanced software. The Open Breast Scanner is shown in Image 26 below (concept drawing).
