    COLUMBIA, MD and TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Jul 8, 2014) - Medifocus, Inc. (OTCQX: MDFZF) (TSX VENTURE: MFS) is pleased to announce that it is featured in today's BioTuesday titled, "Medifocus Readies Market Expansion of Prolieve." Prolieve is a FDA-Approved commercial device for the treatment of symptoms caused by the enlargement of the prostate, which is known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The full article can be read on www.biotuesdays.com

    In the article, Dr. Augustine Y. Cheung, CEO of Medifocus, Inc. is interviewed where he details Medifocus' progress and accomplishments in setting the infrastructure and base to execute its marketing expansion of Prolieve worldwide. The prevalence of BPH increases with age, and over 50% of all men over the age of 50 have BPH. The market size for prescription drug therapy for BPH is estimated to be $4 billion a year. In addition, if you also include patients on "watchful waiting," meaning patients suffering from BPH symptoms, however they elect not to take drugs or minimal invasive surgery, the market could double to $8 billion!

    The Company owns two technology platforms with comprehensive US and international patent protection: The "Endo-thermotherapy Platform" and the "Adaptive Phased Array Microwave Focusing Platform." Based on these platform technologies, the Company has developed two advanced therapeutic products: the Prolieve® system for the treatment of BPH, and the Adaptive Phased Array (APA)-1000 system for treatment of breast cancer.

    The U.S. FDA-approved Prolieve® System (www.prolieve.com) is a medical device based on endo-thermotherapy that both heats the prostate and dilates the prostatic urethra. The heating plus dilatation treatment offered by the Prolieve® System is the only minimally invasive treatment which offers both immediate and long term relief of symptoms due to enlarged prostate (BPH) in men. The clinical indication received for Prolieve from the FDA is an "alternative to drug therapy." With this indication, the Prolieve® System is a revenue generating device based product which can have the potential of catering to the $8 billion non-surgical prescription drug therapy market for treatment of BPH.
