More doctors are ordering bioAffinity Technologies' CyPath Lung test and sales are skyrocketing. A long-term military health contract was just announced, too.
With a San Antonio biotech firm’s test, your phlegm could help save you from cancer. The screening method developed by bioAffinity Technologies Inc. uses AI-aided computer analysis of a patient’s phlegm in a test that can spot lung cancer in high-risk patients earlier than other diagnosis methods. That can be the difference between starting treatment when it’s needed or waiting until it may be too late.
BioAffinity Technologies aims to take the worry out of early-stage lung cancer screening The company was launched in 2014 and has been working since to perfect and bring its CyPath Lung to market. It’s been publicly traded since an initial public offering in 2022, a move Zannes said has helped the company grow. “It’s been great to be in the public markets, and we’ve been able to access funds,” she said. “It is a difficult time for all small cap companies, but we’ve done okay.
BioAffinity raises $4 million as lung cancer test nears market “After the sample runs through the flow, which takes about half hour, the data goes into this algorithm and out comes the result,” she said. It looks at cell populations and how the lung environment is changing. While the mucus is inside the lungs it captures cells and other markers that can provide hints to the organ’s health. One such marker is a porphyrin, an organic compound, that marks cancer and cancer-related cells.
