Anpac Bio Completes Over 200,000 Biophysics Based Cancer Detection Tests, With Data Covering Close to 60 Types of Cancer

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anpac Bio-Medical Science Co., Ltd. (“Anpac Bio,” the “Company” or “we”) (ANPC), a biotechnology company with operations in China and the United States focused on early cancer screening and detection, announced today that it has completed over 200,000 cancer detection tests as of September 30, 2020 using its biophysics based cancer screening technology, Cancer Differentiation Analysis (“CDA”).The CDA technology allows cancer screening for close to 60 types of cancer, including certain cancer types such as esophageal cancer and brain tumors which do not yet have other more-established blood based testing methods.
