BSD Medical Corporation (NASDAQ: BSDM) (Company or BSD) (www.BSDMedical.com), a leading provider of medical systems that utilize heat therapy to treat cancer, announced successful initiation of hyperthermia treatments, using the BSD-500 Hyperthermia System, at 21st Century Oncology center (21st Century) in Fort Myers, Florida. Dallas County has had 14 confirmed heat-related deaths this summer, but only two have occurred in Travis County all year, and neither happened this summer.
So why hasn't Austin had the same number of heat deaths as Dallas?
Kurtz said that heat victims in Dallas ranged in age from 38 to 91.
