At RenovoRx, we're pioneering a new era in cancer care through our Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion, or TAMP therapy platform. By localizing and targeting delivery of therapeutic agents like chemotherapy near the tumor site via the peripheral system, TAMP is designed to optimize drug concentration precisely where it's needed, while potentially minimizing systemic exposure and related toxicities. This targeted approach addresses the longstanding challenge in cancer care, where there is poor tumor blood supply. I believe TAMP represents a significant advancement in the way cancer treatment can be approached. Our mission is to transform patients' outcome by providing a safer, more effective way to deliver therapy directly to hard-to-treat tumors.

While we haven't publicly disclosed our catheter pricing, technologies utilizing the same reimbursement coding are charging between $6,500 and $8,500 per device. Looking ahead, we see expansion opportunities across other cancer indications that could create the potential for a several billion-dollar US TAM for RenovoCath over time. The prospect of generating even a small portion of this market, combined with the potential to help so many patients, is driving our excitement about this opportunity.
