Item 8.01.   Other Events.
 
On June 20, 2007, Neoprobe Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing positive preliminary results from a multi-center Phase 2 clinical study of its lead clinical candidate, Lymphoseek® (Technetium Tc99m DTPA-mannosyl-dextran). Lymphoseek is a proprietary radioactive tracing agent being developed by the Company for use with hand held gamma detection devices, such as the Company’s neo2000® system, in a surgical procedure known as Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB). The primary endpoint of this multi-center, single-arm, open label, within-patient, single-dose, multi-stage trial measured the rate at which Lymphoseek localized to lymphoid tissue with the goal of achieving 90% localization. In results reported June 20, 2007, localization of Lymphoseek to lymphoid tissue was observed in over 94% of the SLNB procedures performed as part of the Phase 2 trial in patients with either breast cancer or melanoma. A copy of the complete text of the Company’s June 20, 2007, press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K which relate to other than strictly historical facts, such as statements about the Company’s plans and strategies, expectations for future financial performance, new and existing products and technologies, and markets for the Company’s products, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof. Investors are cautioned that such statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results due to many factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s continuing operating losses, uncertainty of market acceptance, reliance on third party manufacturers, accumulated deficit, future capital needs, uncertainty of capital funding, dependence on limited product line and distribution channels, competition, limited marketing and manufacturing experience, and other risks detailed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
