Dr. Burian Presents Data From 12 Primary Head and Neck Cancer Patients Treated With Genetronics' Electroporation Therapy
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 24 /CNW/ -- Genetronics Biomedical
Corporation, San Diego, (Amex: GEB; Toronto) announced that Dr. Martin Burian
of the University of Vienna, presented an abstract at the American Academy of
Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Foundation, Inc. annual meeting today
in San Diego, California.
The abstract, entitled "Electroporation Therapy in Head and Neck Cancer,"
gives an overview of a study in which 12 patients diagnosed with primary head
and neck cancer were treated with Genetronics' proprietary Electroporation
Therapy (EPT) system. Four weeks after the treatment, the treated area and a
save margin were excised and analyzed. In 10 out of the 12 patients there was
no evidence of disease in the excised tissue, demonstrating a complete
response rate of 83% in the patients treated. The conclusion of the abstract
was that, "EPT seems to serve as an interesting alternative in the treatment
of head and neck cancer."
