New Video Examines the Improvement In the Quality of Care of Patients For the Early Detection of Skin Cancer With MoleMate

Ronald H. Falcon, MD, FAAD and his patients discuss the benefits of non-invasive mole exams with a MoleMate siascope

MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 9, 2012 /CNW/ - MedX Health Corp., (TSXV.MDX) a global leader in drug free, non-invasive low level laser light therapy and light imaging systems, announced the release of a new 5 minute video highlighting the benefits of MoleMate (siascopy) for physicians and patients, which includes comments from a practicing dermatologist and his patients.  The video features Ronald H. Falcon, MD, FAAD, from Long Island, NY, and highlights the advantages of using light to "see deeper into the dermis," and the resulting benefits for his practice and patients.  In the video, Dr. Falcon's patients explain why they like this new optical biopsy, that is not associated with the pain and scarring of a surgical biopsy, as well as the anxiety of waiting for surgical biopsy results to come back from the laboratory.

Dr. Falcon described the light based technology as a very "patient centric technology", and that it was an "integral part of [his] practice."  Patients said they liked that it was now "quick and simple" to check their moles, and involved a lot less surgery.

"In their own words, Dr. Falcon and his patients explain, in this new video, what this breakthrough technology means to them, and how it has changed how they feel about having their moles checked," says Steve Guillen, President and CEO, MedX Health Corp., "leading to less anxiety associated with regular appointments for mole checks, and the relief of knowing immediately that a mole does not have to be removed.  MoleMate can improve the quality of care of every patient that is worried about their moles, through the early detection of skin cancers without as many costly biopsies and the resulting pain, scarring, and anxiety associated with surgical procedures."

About MoleMate Imaging and Skin Cancer

MoleMate recently received approval from Health Canada, and is immediately available and in stock for all Canadian physicians, joining their colleagues in Europe, the UK, Australia, and the US, who have been utilizing this new pain-free, non-invasive imaging system to 'See More', approximately 2mm below the surface of suspicious moles, and provide additional information and images related to every mole and all types of melanomas and non-melanomas.

MoleMate uses a patented device and technology that features a hand-held scanner designed for office use that utilizes light to view beneath suspicious moles or lesions in a pain free, non-invasive manner, creating images for physicians to evaluate all types of moles and lesions within seconds, providing images that can reveal if a mole is benign, or something more serious, often eliminating the need for skin biopsies, resulting in less pain, scarring, and expense.  Physicians interested in learning more should contact MedX Health Corp. at www.simsys-molemate.com.

"Among the sophisticated equipment used by University of California Irvine Melanoma Center physicians is a SIMSYS-MoleMate SIAscope, one of the most advanced melanoma imaging systems in the world. For patients with many moles, this computer imaging can make a big difference, it decreases the number of biopsies needed, so they won't look like a pincushion."

- Dr. Janellen Smith, UC Irvine dermatologist and co-director of the Pigmented Lesion Program, UC Irvine

MoleMate and the more robust system, SIMSYS, are both sold with a specially designed training CD.  SIMSYS allows image capture and storage as well as special features that can be used in visualizing and comparing moles.  SIMSYS will include "mole mapping" software early in 2012.  Mole Mapping is a technique that physicians use on certain patients with 50-100 or more moles where the entire surface of the patient's skin is photographed to observe changes over time and then suspicious moles can be monitored more closely or, if necessary, removed.

MoleMate is easy to incorporate into exams, and is easy for physicians to learn how to use via the 60-90 minute training CD, as documented in a study with general practitioners, who significantly improved their ability to more accurately identify suspicious moles and lesion.

MoleMate and SIMSYS will also be presented at the American Academy of Dermatology's 70^th Annual Meeting, March 17-20, 2012, in San Diego, California, the world's largest, most comprehensive dermatologic educational event.  "See More," with MoleMate and SIMSYS at booth #1361.

Skin Cancer - The Most Common Form of Cancer

The Canadian and US Cancer societies confirm that skin cancer is the most common form of cancer.  Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidence of cancers of the breast, prostrate, lung and colon.

Nearly 800,000 Americans are living with a history of melanoma and 13 million Americans are living with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer, typically diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).  When melanoma is detected early, the survival rate is about 99% and falls to 15% as the disease advances.
