bioAffinity Technologies Awarded U.S. Federal Supply Schedule Contract for CyPath® Lung Test
SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIAF; BIAFW), a biotechnology company focused on the need for noninvasive tests for the detection of early-stage cancer, today announced that CyPath® Lung, its noninvasive test to detect early-stage lung cancer, will be added to the U.S. Federal Supply Schedule, a procurement system that provides the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and the Military Health System streamlined access to state-of-the-art healthcare products and services
The VHA, part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), serves 9.1 million Veterans each year and is the largest integrated health care system in the country, providing care at 1,380 health care facilities, including 170 medical centers and 1,193 outpatient sites of care of varying complexity (VHA outpatient clinics). Approximately 8,000 Veterans are diagnosed and treated for lung cancer annually, according to the VA.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Veterans, despite being one of the most preventable cancers in the world. The University of California, Irvine School of Medicine reports that an estimated 15 Veterans die of lung cancer each day, and Veterans are 25% more likely to receive a lung cancer diagnosis compared to non-Veterans,” bioAffinity President and CEO Maria Zannes said. “My father was one such Veteran who died from lung cancer at age 39. That is just one of many reasons I am immensely proud that VA and Department of Defense physicians will be able to order CyPath® Lung for their patients to help detect early-stage lung cancer with the goal of leading to better treatment and longer lives.”
