SAN ANTONIO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ACS--bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company advancing noninvasive diagnostics for lung cancer and other lung diseases, today announced that Chief Medical Officer Gordon Downie, MD, PhD, will present a poster at the American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable (NLCRT) showcasing three cases in which CyPath® Lung, a noninvasive sputum-based flow cytometry test, successfully identified Stage 1A lung cancer in patients with atypical and diagnostically challenging presentations.
“Indeterminate pulmonary nodules pose a significant and growing clinical burden, especially when clinicians are confronted with conflicting or inconclusive diagnostic data,” Dr. Downie said. “Risk calculators, imaging, genetic testing, and biomarker tools can at times point in opposing directions, leaving clinicians and patients uncertain about next steps. This challenge is amplified in patients with unusual risk profiles, discordant imaging and advanced age.”
Dr. Downie’s poster, “CyPath® Lung in Practice: From Uncertainty to Clarity and Confidence,” details three complex cases from his tenure as Director of the Titus Regional Hospital Lung Nodule Clinic and Interventional Pulmonology. CyPath® Lung was used alongside other diagnostic tools, including standard low-dose CT (LDCT), PET imaging, risk calculators, bronchoscopy and blood serum marker tests. In each case, CyPath® Lung provided clarity and actionable results which led to confirmed diagnoses at the earliest and most treatable stage.
“These three cases illustrate scenarios that are increasingly common in real-world lung nodule practice,” Dr. Downie said. “Incorporating CyPath® Lung into the diagnostic pathway can accelerate diagnosis, guide difficult conversations with anxious patients, and prevent unnecessary invasive procedures that carry their own risks.”
The NLCRT is a coalition of 194 medical, public health, advocacy, government, and corporate organizations that work together to fight lung cancer by working collectively and collaboratively to reduce lung cancer mortality. This year’s annual meeting is December 8-9, 2025, at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia.
Dr. Downie’s poster session is scheduled for Monday, December 8, 2025, from 2:35-3:15 p.m. ET. The poster can be viewed on the bioAffinity website.
About CyPath® Lung
CyPath® Lung uses proprietary 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 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 lung cancer can improve outcomes and increase patient survival. For more information, visit www.cypathlung.com.
