For Immediate Release

BSD Medical Announces Success in Initial Product Launch for MicroThermX Microwave Ablation System

SALT LAKE CITY, December 14, 2010—BSD Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:BSDM) (Company or BSD) today announced success in the Company’s initial product launch for the MicroThermX Microwave Ablation System (MTX-180).  BSD’s initial product launch has been focused on placement of a select number of systems with pivotal, high-profile, interventional oncology, key opinion leaders.  BSD has successfully placed three of these systems and will shortly place a fourth system.

The first two systems have been placed at clinical sites in Salt Lake City, Utah – St. Mark’s Hospital, part of MountainStar Healthcare, and the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center.  The third system has been placed at William Beaumont Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, and the fourth system is pending placement at Rhode Island Hospital.  BSD has received very positive feedback from the clinicians following liver treatments with the MTX-180.

Referring to his first patient treatment, James G. Carlisle, M.D. an interventional oncologist stated, “BSD has hit the ball out of the park. The MicroThermX Microwave Ablation System provides multiple benefits, including quick set-up time, ease of use, and a big reduction in footprint. Of course, the ablation zones are large and predictable.”

Dr. Carlisle has the most extensive experience in providing image-guided, minimally invasive cancer therapies in the Intermountain West. He treats patients at St. Mark’s Hospital and the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

About the MicroThermX Microwave Ablation System
The MTX-180 is a compact, mobile, state-of-the-art, proprietary system that includes a microwave generator, single-patient-use disposable antennas, and a thermistor-based temperature monitoring system.  The innovative design of the MTX-180 is the first of its kind that allows delivery of higher power levels using a single generator.  The MTX-180 utilizes innovative synchronous phased array technology that was developed and patented by BSD to provide larger and more uniform zones of ablation during a single procedure.  The MTX-180 introduces into the Company’s product line an innovative, high-end disposable that is used in each ablation treatment, and will provide a significant ongoing revenue stream.  The soft tissue ablation world market potential is estimated to exceed $2.3 billion. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted the Company a 510(k) clearance to market the MTX-180 for ablation of soft tissue. BSD has also received CE Marking for the MTX-180 System.
