John Rewcastle, Ph.D., Medical Director of EDAP-TMS, commented, "The World Congress of Endourology is a marquee event in the urologic calendar. The clinical data to be presented evidence further recognition and adoption of HIFU and is the foundation of the increased interest. The presentations from Drs. Chaussy and Thuroff show the durability of the excellent long-term outcomes they published earlier this year. Importantly, they demonstrate that cancer control was achieved with an acceptable morbidity profile."
Marc Oczachowski, Chief Executive Officer of EDAP TMS, stated, "We are excited that the World Congress of Endourology meeting this year will have a significant focus on prostate cancer, and in particular, the use of high intensity focused ultrasound as a minimally invasive treatment option. Globally, people are becoming more aware of the prevalence of prostate cancer and efforts to identify the disease at an earlier stage are increasing.
"With the notable benefits of HIFU treatment, we believe demand will continue to grow as patients seek a non-invasive curative therapy that affords quality of life and is backed by solid clinical evidence. We look forward to the poster presentations from our colleagues which will demonstrate the successes we have achieved with the use of Ablatherm-HIFU in the treatment of localized prostate cancer."

About Ablatherm-HIFU
Ablatherm-HIFU is an ultrasound guided HIFU device for the treatment of organ-confined prostate cancer. The device consists of a treatment module, a control table with a computer and a computer screen, and a diagnostic ultrasound device connected to the treatment module. After insertion of an endorectal probe, the physician visualizes the prostate and defines the area to be treated. The computer automatically calculates the optimum treatment distribution of lesions. During the treatment, the transducer automatically moves and fires at each predefined lesion until the entire area has been treated, while controlling and imaging the treatment in real time due to its integrated imaging system. Cell destruction by HIFU is accomplished by a combination of thermal and cavitation effects caused by focused application of piezoelectric-generated high-intensity ultrasound. The procedure is performed under general or spinal anesthesia.
Ablatherm-HIFU is cleared for distribution in the European Union, South Korea, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, the Philippines, Taiwan, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Russia. As of December 31, 2012, more than 32,000 prostate cancer treatments successfully performed clinical outside the U.S. with Ablatherm-HIFU and results have been published in 60 peer-reviewed scientific publications.
About EDAP TMS SA
EDAP TMS SA markets today Ablatherm® for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment of localized prostate cancer. HIFU treatment is shown to be a minimally invasive and effective treatment option with a low occurrence of side effects. Ablatherm-HIFU is generally recommended for patients with localized prostate cancer (stages T1-T2) who are not candidates for surgery or who prefer an alternative option, or for patients who failed radiotherapy treatment, Ablatherm-HIFU is approved and commercialized in Europe as a treatment for prostate cancer and is currently under regulatory review in the U.S. following submission of the Pre-Market Approval Application in February 2013 after the completion of a multi-center U.S. Phase II/III clinical trial under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) granted by the FDA. The Company also develops its HIFU technology for the potential treatment of certain other types of tumors. EDAP TMS SA also produces and commercializes medical equipment (the Sonolith® range) for treatment of urinary tract stones using extra-corporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).
