New Breast Cancer Clinical Data Accepted For Presentation At San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

Predictive medicine company
PreMD Inc. (TSX: PMD; Amex: PME) announced that an abstract entitled,
'Galactose oxidase Schiff's reactivity is higher in nipple aspirate fluid
from cancerous breasts than from healthy patients' has been accepted for
presentation at the 30th Annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium
(SABCS). The SABCS is a leading international symposium for physicians and
healthcare researchers involved in breast cancer research.


"We are extremely pleased and honored that this abstract has been
accepted for presentation at this influential symposium," said Brent
Norton, president and chief executive officer of PreMD Inc. "This study
provides valuable clinical insight as to how women with unilateral breast
cancer may benefit from testing with galactose oxidase Schiff's (GOS)
reactivity. This presentation further strengthens our clinical data and our
entire cancer franchise, which we are progressively developing."



GOS reactivity is significantly different between nipple aspirate fluid
(NAF) taken from cancerous versus non-cancerous breasts of women with
unilateral breast cancer. This study extends these findings and evaluates
GOS reactivity in healthy control patients.



The lead author on the study is Dr. Anees B. Chagpar from the
University of Louisville. The San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium takes
place on December 13-16, 2007, in San Antonio, Texas.
