SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Sep 19, 2013) - Atossa Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATOS), The Breast Health Company, will display its ForeCYTE Breast Health Test at the Pri-Med East 2013 Conference & Exhibition from September 19 through September 22, 2013, in Boston, MA. Atossa's exhibit will be located in Booth 903 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

Chris Destro, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Atossa, stated, "The Pri-Med East show is a strategic venue and opportunity as we continue to market the ForeCYTE Breast Health Test.We look forward to having representatives demonstrate our collection device and to expand on the clinical value of our test to the primary care providers attending the show."

The ForeCYTE Breast Health Test, developed and marketed by Atossa's subsidiary, The National Reference Laboratory for Breast Health, detects reversible precancerous conditions in the breast up to eight years before they become cancer. The test uses Atossa's hand-held, FDA Class II medical device that is quick, painless, and non-invasive and can be administered during an OB/GYN office visit. Unlike mammograms, which are commonly recommended for women starting at age 40 to 50, the ForeCYTE Breast Health Test is more age agnostic, uses no radiation and does not require invasive biopsy needles or surgical incisions.

About the ForeCYTE Breast Health Test

The ForeCYTE Breast Health Test, intended for the 110 million women in the U.S. ages 18 to 73, is a painless, quick and non-invasive procedure that can be done in a physician's office.The test specimens are then analyzed at Atossa's laboratory, The National Reference Laboratory for Breast Health, Inc. (NRLBH), which can provide vital early detection of cancer or pre-cancerous conditions that may progress to cancer over an approximately eight year period and before cancer can be detected by mammography or other means and without the risks of radiation, especially in women younger than age 50. No invasive biopsy needles or open surgical incisions are used in the Atossa test.

Just as the Pap smear has reduced cervical cancer rates by over 70 percent, becoming the most successful screening test in medicine, the goal of Atossa Genetics is to reduce the stubbornly high rate of breast cancer through the early detection of the precursor changes that can lead to breast cancer and the treatment of those early changes.
