WACO, Texas - Jan. 26, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Health Discovery Corporation (OTC
Bulletin Board: HDVY) today announced the signing of its second Biomarker and Pathway
Discovery Agreement with The University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston
Texas. Under the terms of the Agreement, The University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center, has granted the Company a first option to obtain an exclusive worldwide royalty-
bearing commercial license to commercialize any discovered prostate cancer biomarkers or
pathways identified by the Company utilizing its proprietary and patent protected Fractal
Genomics Modeling (FGM) techniques.
For the third time in four years, The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is
ranked the nation's top cancer hospital in U.S. News and World Report's "America's Best
Hospitals" survey, published in the magazine's July 28 2003 issue.

pathway discovery in prostate cancer. We hope to use the findings of this study to develop
new diagnostic approaches for prostate cancer and improve the clinical management of these
patients."
