The latest update is out from BCAL Diagnostics Limited ( (AU:BDX) ).

BCAL Diagnostics has completed preparations for the Australian launch of its Avantect blood tests for pancreatic and ovarian cancer, with initial availability from 19 January 2026 in Sydney and a national rollout planned later in the year, targeting high‑risk patients who currently lack effective early detection options. The company is also expanding the clinical and commercial footprint of its BREASTESTplus blood test for women with dense breast tissue, supported by new Australian study data showing high sensitivity and a strong negative predictive value, and by national ethics approval to establish a registry of up to 24,000 women that is expected to underpin wider clinician adoption and potential reimbursement pathways; financially, BCAL ended the quarter with $3.3 million in cash, added a $10 million convertible note facility with $3 million drawn, received a $2.5 million R&D tax refund, and is now focused on revenue generation and market awareness following the launch of its new cancer tests.
