Inside bioAffinity Technologies: CEO Maria Zannes on Noninvasive Diagnostics & Cancer Detection
Dec. 17, 2024
bioAffinity Technologies (Nasdaq: BIAF) addresses the urgent need for noninvasive, accurate early-stage cancer diagnosis and broad-spectrum cancer treatments. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The Company’s first product, CyPath® Lung, improves early-stage detection of lung cancer, leading to increased survival, fewer unnecessary invasive procedures, reduced patient anxiety, and lower medical costs. CyPath® Lung, a laboratory developed test (LTD), is patient-friendly and physician focused. Physicians order CyPath® Lung for their patients after lung cancer screening or other imaging reveals a suspicious finding.
Patients collect their sample at home and ship overnight in a pre-paid envelope to the Company’s commercial laboratory, Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, where data is collected using flow cytometry. Proprietary automated data analysis, developed using artificial intelligence (AI), detects lung cancer by analyzing the lung microenvironment to identify cell populations that indicate malignancy. CyPath® Lung has shown high sensitivity (92%), high specificity (87%) and high accuracy (88%) in detecting early-stage lung cancer in patients with small pulmonary nodules less than 20 millimeters. Research and optimization of the Company’s platform technologies are conducted in its laboratories at Precision Pathology.
