(OTCMarket:AVXT.OB) today announced that it will be presenting at the London Biotech Investment Forum at 12:15 PM GMT (7:15 AM EST) on Monday December 12, 2005.

About AVAX Technologies, Inc.

AVAX Technologies, Inc. is a biotechnology company with operations in the United States and Europe. The Company is engaged in the research, clinical and commercial development of biological products and cancer therapeutics. AVAX's AC Vaccine platform is a therapeutic treatment for cancer. In addition, the Company performs contract-manufacturing services for biological products to other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

The AC Vaccines are prepared by attaching a small chemical to the patients tumor cells in a process known as haptenization. This hapten modification allows the tumor cells to stimulate a T cell-based immune response to a patients own tumor cells. An early indicator of T cell immune activity is delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH). A previously published article in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, February 2004 reported actual five-year survival data for a group of 214 patients with clinically evident Stage III melanoma treated with the AC Vaccine following surgery. The study demonstrated five-year survival of 45% and showed a highly statistically significant relationship between survival and DTH to patients' own tumor cells. Notably, based upon these results, DTH appears to be a viable "surrogate marker" for survival and an early indicator for clinical effectiveness of current and future product candidates. Previously clinical trials in ovarian and renal cell carcinoma, demonstrated strong DTH responses consistent with those reported for melanoma patients.
