BCAL Diagnostics is a Sydney, Australia based blood diagnostics company with research facilities based in Kentucky, USA.
The BCAL lipid biomarker test is a universal blood test for the effective screening and monitoring of breast cancer. The BCAL test is being developed to be safe, cost effective, accurate and available to all women regardless of age, race and geographic location.
BCAL Diagnostics is near completion of a 200-patient study. Initial results indicate the BCAL test has a greater than 90% sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma which is 85% of all breast cancers.
This will lead to a range of BCAL breast cancer blood tests that can be used across the full breast cancer disease management continuum. from pre-disposition to screening to long term monitoring.
BCAL Diagnostics is now seeking Series B capital of $5-$10M USD to support its global commercialisation activities.
