BioAffinity Technologies releases clinical case on CyPath Lung

bioAffinity Technologies (BIAF) released a new clinical case study illustrating how CyPath Lung, the Company’s noninvasive sputum-based diagnostic test, helped determine next steps for a high-risk patient with a suspicious pulmonary nodule where imaging and risk models suggested a high likelihood of cancer, but the physician suspected possible inflammation. The patient, a 70-year-old female with a 50 pack-year smoking history and smoking-related emphysema, presented with increased symptoms including cough, sputum production and shortness of breath. A low-dose CT scan identified a suspicious 30-millimeter lesion in the lower right lung with nearby enlarged lymph nodes, findings that can be associated with lung cancer. PET imaging suggested a high likelihood of malignancy. Lung cancer risk calculators estimated the probability of cancer as high on the Mayo and Herder models and intermediate on the Brock model.
