ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

      On July 12, 2006, Neoprobe Corporation (the "Company") announced that it
had initiated its Phase 2 multi-center study of Lymphoseek(TM), a lymphatic
tissue targeting agent being developed by the Company. The Company was granted
authorization by the FDA earlier this year to commence patient enrollment in a
Phase 2 multi-center clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
Lymphoseek. The Company issued a press release on July 12, 2006, announcing the
initiation of the Phase 2 clinical study. A copy of the press release is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 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, anticipated
clinical and regulatory pathways, 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 of its products, 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, risks of
development of new products, regulatory risks 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.
