BSD Reports Growing Interest in MicroThermX® Microwave Ablation System at CIRSE – the World's Largest Conference on Interventional Radiology Products
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BSD Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:BSDM) (Company or BSD), a leading provider of medical systems that utilize heat therapy to treat cancer, announced today that physicians at the CIRSE conference reported microwave ablation treatment has the potential to become a primary first-line treatment option for certain tumors because of its efficacy, safety, ease of use, and low cost. CIRSE (Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe), which was held in Lisbon, Portugal, September 15-19, 2012, is the world's largest and most prestigious conference in the field of minimally invasive image-guided therapies. Over 6,000 medical professionals from 80 countries attended CIRSE, reflecting the global impact of the rapidly expanding field of interventional radiology. The soft tissue ablation world market potential is estimated to exceed $2.3 billion.
During CIRSE BSD sponsored a series of tumor ablation workshops that provided hands-on demonstrations of the MicroThermX® Microwave Ablation System's (MicroThermX®) advanced technology. The multiple configurations of the MicroThermX® provide physicians the ability to precisely target the ablation zone to the numerous sizes and shapes of diseased tissue, significantly increasing the number of cases that can be treated with microwave ablation. There was standing room only at the Company's workshops, and the significant interest in MicroThermX® was evident by the constant stream of interested clinicians and medical distributors from around the world. |
