COLUMBIA, Md. and Toronto, ON- April 4, 2014 – Medifocus, Inc. (OTCQX: MDFZF and TSXV: MFS) (Medifocus or the Company), a leader in the development and commercialization of focused microwave energy to treat cancer and other diseases, announced today that it will be featured in a 30-minute Life Sciences segment on BNN & Fox Business News Network on Sunday, April 6, 2014. The segment will air at 9:30 AM and 8:00 PM EDT on Canada’s BNN and at 5:30 PM EDT on U.S. Fox Business News.
The segment discusses the Company’s FDA approved, revenue-generating Prolieve® system, a relatively painless and effective alternative to drug therapy and certain types of surgical procedures to treat the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a non-cancerous urological disease in which the prostate enlarges and constricts the urethra. The Prolieve® system provides a 45-minute in-office treatment that combines microwave thermotherapy capability with a proprietary balloon compression technology to both heat the prostate and dilate the prostatic urethra.
In addition to being aired on April 6th, the excerpt is available on the BTV website at the following link: www.b-tv.com/i/videos/MedifocusApr14.wmv.
About Medifocus:
Medifocus owns two fully developed technology platforms with comprehensive US and international patent protection: (1) The Endo-thermotherapy Platform — a catheter-basis focused heat technology platform that utilizes natural body openings to deliver precise microwave thermotherapy to the diseased sites. The U.S. FDA approved Prolieve Thermodilatation System for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (“BPH”) was developed based on Endo-thermotherapy and is currently generating revenue, and (2) The Adaptive Phased Array (APA) Microwave Focusing Platform — invented by MIT, licensed to Medifocus, directs precisely focused microwave energy at tumor center to induce shrinkage or eradication of tumors without undue harm to surrounding tissue. The Company’s APA 1000 Breast Cancer Treatment System, developed from the APA technology platform, has received approval from the U.S. FDA and Health Canada to conduct the pivotal Phase III clinical trials. The Company believes that these two technology platforms can provide the design basis for the development of multiple cancer treatment systems for surface, subsurface and deep seated localized and regional cancers.
