SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--BSD Medical Corp. (AMEX: BSM) today announced that Long Beach
Memorial Medical Center in Long Beach, California has increased its
hyperthermia program for cancer treatment with the acquisition of a
BSD-2000 hyperthermia system for clinical investigations under FDA
approved protocols. "With the addition of the BSD-2000, we now have a
comprehensive hyperthermia treatment center, with the ability to offer
our patients a complete cancer therapy program for treating
superficial tumors and clinical studies of tumors deep in the body,"
said Dr. Nisar Syed, chief of radiology at Long Beach Memorial Medical
Center.

   Dr. Syed is a world pioneer in brachytherapy, a widely used cancer
treatment that provides radiation therapy by inserting radioactive
"seeds," isolating the radiation exposure to tumors and preserving the
healthy cells. He is also a leader in the combined use of radiation
and hyperthermia therapy in the treatment of superficial cancer, as
provided by BSD Medical's systems. "The synergy of these two
modalities provides improved local control and allows us to treat
advanced patients who otherwise have exhausted their treatment
options," according to Dr. Syed. The Long Beach Memorial Medical
Center is internationally known for treating cancer patients with
complex and advanced stage disease.

   The BSD-2000 was designed to deliver precision-focused RF energy
into cancerous tumors, raising the tumor temperature to therapeutic
levels. Hyperthermia therapy is used to destroy cancer cells with heat
and increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy. In the United
States treatments using the BSD-2000 are investigational and are
administered under FDA approved protocols.
