To Hysterectomy"BioSphere Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:BSMD)

microspheres to treat uterine fibroids, hypervascularized tumors and

procedure called embolotherapy - today announced that in its August
Practice Bulletin, the American College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists (ACOG) recommended uterine artery embolization (UAE)
(also known as UFE) as an alternative to hysterectomy in the
management of leiomyomas (fibroids). The bulletin cites the
availability of Level A research, which is based on "good and

their uteri." The recommendation is also based on both long- and
short-term treatment outcomes. " More at web site URL:
