ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 26, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Biomoda, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BMOD - News), Albuquerque, New Mexico, (http://www.biomoda.com) , maker of patented early lung cancer detection testing and other cancer diagnostic technology, today announced that it has retained E & E Communications, Laguna Hills, California, to assist with its investor and public relations efforts.

Biomoda's patented technology, a non-invasive cytology based lung cancer diagnostic assay, is currently being analyzed at the famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The technology is based on a patented porphyrin application that preferentially binds to cancerous or aberrant cells extracted from lung sputum samples. Cancerous cells glow red under fluorescent light to allow detection under a microscope. The patented technology is designed for cancer screening at an early stage for large populations at a very affordable cost. Lung cancer claims more lives than any other cancer. The expected 5-year survival rate for all patients combined for whom lung cancer is diagnosed is 15 percent. The survival rate for cases detected when the disease is still localized is 50 percent, however, presently, only 16 percent of lung cancer cases are diagnosed early.
