Novian Health Announces Agreement with Rose Medical Center in Denver

Leading Denver Hospital Among First in Country to Offer Novilase Breast Therapy
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Novian Health, manufacturer of Novilase Breast Therapy for benign breast tumors,
announced an agreement with Rose Medical Center for Rose to provide the Novilase
laser treatment to treat breast lumps.

"Rose Medical Center is recognized throughout the country for its breast health
services," said Henry R. Applebaum, Novian Health`s President and CEO. "Their
embrace of Novilase shows that leaders in breast health recognize the benefits
this technology brings to their patients."

The Rose agreement is one of several similar agreements that will be announced
by Novian Health this year.

Novilase is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat from a laser to
destroy benign breast tumors, or fibroadenomas. Fibroadenomas are prevalent in
younger women. An alternative to surgery, Novilase is safe, effective, and less
risky than lumpectomy while providing a superior cosmetic outcome. Novilase is
FDA-cleared for this indication and is not an experimental procedure.

"We`re using Novilase for non-surgical removal of non-malignant tumors, but we
see this as a stepping stone to using this same treatment for malignant tumors,
as well," said Barbara Schwartzberg, M.D., chairwoman of the Rose Medical Center
Cancer Committee. "I believe we`re witnessing a major step toward even better
treatment options for breast cancer patients."

Novilase will be performed at the Rose Breast Center using only local
anesthetic. The procedure is performed via two small probes inserted through
tiny nicks in the skin. Only targeted tissue is destroyed. The skin nicks made
for the procedure close with a bandage instead of sutures. After the treatment,
the body`s natural process repairs the site by replacing ablated tissue with
normal tissue.

Rose Medical Center is also participating in the American Breast Laser Ablation
Tracking Evaluation (ABLATE) data collection program, to gather further clinical
information about Novilase. Novilase is FDA-cleared and is not an experimental
procedure.
