Profound Medical Congratulates Texas Prostate on Achieving 100th TULSA Procedure™ Milestone

TORONTO, March 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF, TSX:PRN) ("Profound" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets AI-powered, MRI-guided, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, is pleased to announce that Texas Prostate, led by Dr. James Cochran, has achieved its 100th TULSA Procedure™ performed in Dallas Medical Center's state-of-the-art MRI suite.

"Having performed hundreds of focal HIFU procedures for prostate cancer patients, we switched to primarily offering the TULSA Procedure because its unique MRI-guidance and thermography allow us to treat a much broader range of prostate diseases, sizes, severities, and aggressions, with an improved safety profile. With TULSA, by planning and delivering therapy under continuous, in‑bore MRI visualization — rather than relying on diagnostic images obtained weeks or months earlier and aligned indirectly at the time of treatment in the case of HIFU — we gain a clearer, more accurate understanding of tumor location and extent, enabling more precise and safer therapy," said Dr. Cochran. "Almost immediately upon transitioning from a private pay to a Medicare model via our new collaboration with Dallas Medical Center, our TULSA Procedure numbers increased by 500%, and continue to grow as new enquiries from around Texas and surrounding states come in every day, and urologists in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex reach out to learn how to offer TULSA to their patients."

"Under this innovative model pioneered by Texas Prostate — bridging private-pay practices and Medicare-participating hospitals — Dr. Cochran is demonstrating a way for urologists to accelerate adoption of the next generation of prostate care by allowing more men to benefit from the TULSA Procedure's versatility across the full spectrum of prostate disease," commented Arun Menawat, Profound's CEO and Chairman. "On behalf of everyone at Profound, we would like to congratulate Dr. Cochran and his team on his first 100 TULSA Procedures."

The TULSA Procedure, performed using the TULSA-PRO^® system, represents a major advancement in prostate care, and is used by physicians to treat men with prostate cancer and/or benign prostatic hyperplasia ("BPH", also known as an enlarged prostate). Robotically controlled directional ultrasound is delivered from inside the urethra to precisely and gently heat prostate tissue to ‘kill temperature' (55-57°C), while protecting surrounding nerves and anatomy. Real-time MRI thermography enables continuous visualization and autonomous temperature adjustment throughout the procedure. This level of precision allows physicians to tailor therapy to each patient, resulting in no procedural blood loss, no overnight hospital stay, and a quicker return to everyday life, while minimizing side effects typically associated with surgery or radiation, such as urinary incontinence and/or erectile dysfunction.
