Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB: GTHP) (OTCQB: GTHP), announced today it has shipped two LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scans to Indonesia to begin cervical cancer screening evaluations in the world’s fourth most populous country.

Indonesia has more than 63 million women ages 25 to 64. The published goal of the Indonesia Social Security Management Agency Health sector is to have 80 percent of women screened by 2025. From 2007 to 2013, 1.75 percent of women were screened for cervical cancer.

“Indonesia is a large market opportunity for LuViva as a primary screening tool for cervical cancer,” said Gene Cartwright, CEO and President of Guided Therapeutics. “The point-of-care design of LuViva and immediate results are ideal for large test and treat programs.”

The evaluations are expected to begin in May after installation and training by the Guided Therapeutics staff. The evaluations are expected to enroll approximately 200 women and will be held at large institutional facilities in Jakarta, Bali and Surabaya.

About LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scan

LuViva is a technologically advanced diagnostic device that scans the cervix with light and uses spectroscopy to measure how light interacts with the cervical tissue. Spectroscopy identifies chemical and structural indicators of precancer that may be below the surface of the cervix or misdiagnosed as benign. This technique is called biophotonics. Unlike Pap, HPV tests or biopsies, LuViva does not require laboratory analysis or a tissue sample, and is designed to provide results immediately, which may result in eliminating costly, painful and unnecessary additional testing. LuViva is intended for use with women who have undergone initial screening and are called back for follow up with a colposcopy examination, which in many cases, involves taking a biopsy of the cervix. It has also been used in clinical studies in Turkey and Nigeria as a means to screen women for cervical cancer where the availability of infrastructure necessary for Pap and HPV testing is restricted. The device is used in conjunction with the LuViva® Cervical Guide single-use patient interface and calibration disposable.
