awareness of the prevalence of this disease and the importance of early detection.

SEATTLE-TACOMA, Washington – February 4, 2013 @ 5:30PM PST –LED Medical Diagnostics Inc. is pleased to announce that a team of Seattle-Tacoma dentists will receive training at Parkland Family Dentistry today, World Cancer Day (http://www.worldcancerday.org/), on how to use the VELscope Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System, the first device cleared by the FDA to help dental and medical professionals discover oral cancer and pre-cancer that might not be visible to the naked eye.

Parkland Family Dentistry is located at 12165 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington. The training session begins at 5:30 pm. Seattle/Tacoma media are invited to attend this event, where they can interview and gather footage of the dentists as well as Eric Statler, a Stage 4 oral cancer survivor and spokesperson for the Oral Cancer Foundation.

Background

Tacoma residents Dr. Tom Henry and his wife Susie own eight dental practices in the Seattle-Tacoma area. In October, one month after Susie's brother was diagnosed with Stage 4 oral cancer, she and Dr. Henry attended a talk on oral cancer given by Eric Statler. The next month, sadly in an ironic twist, Susie was diagnosed with Stage 3 oral cancer. Soon thereafter, she and Dr. Henry asked their dental equipment supplier if there was a product that would help dentists detect oral cancer in early stages; their objective was to minimize the chances that any of their patients would ever be diagnosed with late stage oral cancer the way Susie and her brother had just been. The sales representative did her research, came back and recommended the VELscope Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System. The Henrys ordered one system for each of their dental offices.

A VELscope Vx screening saves lives and is simple, non-invasive and takes minutes to perform.

A VELscope Vx screening takes only a few minutes and is very affordable and completely non-invasive for the patient. Given that one American dies of oral cancer every hour of every day, and that detecting the disease in early stages rather than late stages may be the difference between life and death, this is a story your viewers will want and need to see.
