There were an estimated 1.15 million new cases in 2002, while Chinese cancer registries report steady annual increases in incidence of 3 to 4%. The ComfortScan system is an investigational digital-imaging system utilizing high-intensity, light-emitting diodes and gentle external pressure to highlight areas with vascular abnormalities in the breast. ComfortScan technology is based on identifying tumor tumor: see neoplasm. angiogenesis angiogenesis /an·gio·gen·e·sis/ (-jen´e-sis) vasculogenesis; development of blood vessels either in the embryo or in the form of neovascularization or revascularization. an·gi·o·gen·e·sis n. , the process whereby a cancerous growth surrounds itself with a dense network of tiny blood-filled capillaries Capillaries The smallest arteries which, in the lung, are located next to the alveoli so that they can pick up oxygen from inhaled air. Mentioned in: Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Birthmarks, Platelet Count which serve to aid in its growth and development. The ComfortScan system is designed to be used as an adjunct to mammography mammography, diagnostic procedure that uses low-dose X rays to detect abnormalities in the breasts. The early diagnosis of breast cancer made possible by the routine use of mammography for screening women increases a woman's treatment alternatives and improves her , and clinical trials are evaluating its ability to provide additional information which may aid the physician in diagnosing breast cancer more effectively. About DOBI Medical International, Inc.

("angiogenesis") associated with tumors. The Company's first application of the technology is the ComfortScan(R) system, a gentle, noninvasive, and nonionizing, optical imaging system designed to assist physicians in the identification and management of breast cancer as an adjunct to screening mammography. The ComfortScan system is intended to achieve this by providing new, physiology-based imagery of abnormal vascularization in the breast that is not readily available today.
