ITEM 9.  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

         On May 8, 2003, Neoprobe Corporation (the "Company") issued a press
release regarding its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2003. A copy of the Company's press release is furnished as an exhibit
to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The information
contained in this report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Item 12
under Item 9 of Form 8-K as directed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission in Release No. 34-47583.

         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 limited revenues,
accumulated deficit, future capital needs, uncertainty of capital funding,
dependence on limited product line and exclusive distributor, uncertainty of
market acceptance, 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
