Nearly 90% increase in number of physician offices using CyPath Lung

Utilization expands as physicians who ordered CyPath Lung in 2025 increase usage by nearly 50%

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company developing noninvasive healthcare solutions for the early detection and monitoring of lung disease, today announced that sales of its CyPath® Lung test for lung cancer increased more than 100% through the third quarter of 2026 compared to 2025, reflecting continued growth in clinical adoption of the Company’s noninvasive test for assessing the likelihood of lung cancer in high-risk individuals.

The number of ordering physicians increased by 89% in Q3 2026 compared to Q3 2025. Physicians who ordered CyPath Lung through Q3 2025 continued to expand utilization of the test, with sales volume increasing by 48% year-over-year. Testing through Q3 2026 resulted in more than 1620 tests delivered as compared to 775 tests through Q3 2025.

"One of our objectives for 2026 is executing on our strategy to expand access and drive adoption of CyPath Lung with physicians who have used our test over time. We believe that sales of CyPath Lung in the third quarter of this year demonstrate the ongoing success of our efforts," said Maria Zannes, President and CEO of bioAffinity Technologies. "The 100% increase in third-quarter sales reflects growing utilization of CyPath Lung in pulmonology and oncology practices, lung nodule clinics and community medical centers. As we continue to increase our marketing efforts, we believe we are well positioned to pursue similar results generated by a larger base of physician prescribers. We are especially focused on executing our new distribution agreement with Veteran-Owned AvMEDICAL, which we believe could help broaden our reach in the government healthcare system, including the Department of Veterans Affairs."

The number of patients identified with indeterminate pulmonary nodules continues to rise, driven in part by increases in incidental findings and screening by low-dose CT for high-risk patients. CyPath Lung’s flow cytometry+AI technology provides actionable information to support clinical decision-making. The test result is intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical information, including imaging, medical history, risk factors and clinical guidelines.

"As clinicians, we are happy to see more eligible patients undergoing the recommended lung cancer screening. But as more nodules are identified by imaging, physicians increasingly need more information to help determine the appropriate next steps for individual patients," said Gordon Downie, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of bioAffinity Technologies. "CyPath Lung is designed to help fill that need by providing a result indicating either likely or unlikely malignancy in the lung, which can be considered alongside imaging, clinical history and other findings to help determine whether a patient is most likely to benefit from additional monitoring, further diagnostic evaluation or an invasive procedure.”

About CyPath Lung

CyPath Lung by bioAffinity Technologies is a noninvasive test designed to improve the early detection of lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease. CyPath Lung uses advanced flow cytometry and proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) to identify cell populations in patient sputum that indicate malignancy. CyPath Lung incorporates a novel fluorescent porphyrin that is preferentially taken up by cancer and cancer-related cells. In a published clinical trial of high-risk patients, CyPath Lung demonstrated 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity, 88% accuracy and 99% negative predictive value (NPV) in detecting lung cancer in patients at high risk for the disease who had small indeterminate lung nodules less than 20 millimeters. The high NPV may help inform physician decision-making when evaluating whether further invasive procedures are warranted. CyPath Lung is marketed as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) and is not intended for use as a sole diagnostic tool and should be considered alongside other clinical findings. www.cypathlung.com

Key Terms

flow cytometry technical

A laboratory method that uses lasers and sensors to count and analyze individual cells or tiny particles as they flow past a detector, like a high‑speed supermarket scanner that reads barcodes on each item. Investors care because flow cytometry is widely used in drug development, diagnostics and manufacturing quality control; demand for the instruments, reagents and services can signal progress in clinical programs, recurring revenue streams and adoption of new therapies or tests.

low-dose CT medical

Low-dose CT is a medical imaging scan that uses X-rays like a regular CT but reduces the radiation per scan so it’s closer to the dose of a strong X‑ray rather than a full CT. For investors, it matters because lower radiation makes routine screening programs (for example, lung screening) safer and more acceptable, which can increase demand for scanners, influence reimbursement and regulatory approval, and affect healthcare costs and device makers’ revenues.
