bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company focused on the need for noninvasive tests for the detection of early-stage lung cancer and other lung diseases, today announced that the Japan Patent Office has issued a Certificate of Grant of Patent to bioAffinity Technologies for the method of predicting the likelihood of lung cancer used by the CyPath® Lung diagnostic test for early-stage lung cancer.

The Japanese patent, titled “System and Method for Determining the State of Health of the Lungs,” is an important addition to bioAffinity Technologies’ patent portfolio, which includes 17 awarded U.S. and foreign patents and 30 pending patent applications related to its diagnostic platform and cancer treatment therapeutics. The Japanese patent is the first awarded for the CyPath® Lung flow cytometry test as a stand-alone assay for the detection of lung cancer.

“The Japanese patent for CyPath® Lung is a significant step forward in extending protection for the intellectual property behind our innovative, noninvasive test for early-stage lung cancer. We anticipate patents in additional geographic regions will follow,” bioAffinity Technologies President and CEO Maria Zannes said. “Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer worldwide. We believe CyPath® Lung has the potential to improve the outcome for lung cancer patients around the globe through earlier detection when treatment options are better. Strong intellectual property protection for CyPath® Lung benefits not only patients and their physicians, but also our shareholders and our Company. Our scientific team continues research and development on diagnostics that will open new markets for bioAffinity Technologies.”

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.
