bioAffinity Technologies is on target to meet its sales forecast for the previously announced limited test market launch in Texas designed to refine future positioning and strategic insight for CyPath Lung in preparation for expanding to the national market.
"The introduction of our reimbursement code, completion of our branding, and expansion of our sales force have markedly contributed to the growing physician interest and adoption of our innovative, noninvasive CyPath Lung test. Increasing physician satisfaction and adoption have also been driven by the successful integration and efficient operation of our commercial laboratory, Precision Pathology Laboratory," bioAffinity Technologies’ President and CEO Maria Zannes said. "Importantly, our sales growth has been in line with our expectations and bolsters our confidence in our ability to capitalize on the lung cancer diagnostics market projected to reach $4.7 billion by 2030."
Pulmonologists and other lung health specialists understand the critically important role of screening and early diagnosis in improving outcomes for those diagnosed with lung cancer and providing peace of mind for individuals at elevated risk of developing the disease. bioAffinity Technologies’ commitment to noninvasive cancer detection is poised to reshape the landscape of lung health management by increasing early detection and treatment.
bioAffinity Technologies will release financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023, on April 1, 2024.
About CyPath Lung
CyPath Lung uses advanced flow cytometry and artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell populations in patient sputum that indicate malignancy. Automated data analysis helps determine if cancer is present or if the patient is cancer-free. CyPath Lung incorporates a fluorescent porphyrin, TCPP, that is preferentially taken up by cancer and cancer-related cells. Clinical study results demonstrated that CyPath Lung had 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity and 88% accuracy in detecting lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease who had small lung nodules less than 20 millimeters. Diagnosing and treating early-stage cancer can improve outcomes and increase patient survival.
