What if we could know that ourselves or our loved ones were at risk for one of the most devastating diseases of our time up to five years sooner? What there was a way to detect breast cancer five years before lumps ever appear? Researchers at the University of Nottingham say they are doing just that.
The test, which identifies the body’s immune response to proteins produced by cancer cells, could be available in four years.
The scientists found autoantibodies against a number of TAAs could be detected up to five years before any clinical signs of the tumor.
In a pilot study the scientists took blood samples from 90 breast cancer patients at the time they were diagnosed. They matched them with samples taken from a control group of 90 cancer-free patients.
The researchers were able to detect cancer with reasonable accuracy by identifying these autoantibodies in the blood. They need to develop and further validate this test. However, these results are encouraging and indicate that it’s possible to detect a signal for early breast cancer.
Once researchers have improved the accuracy of the test, then it opens the possibility of using a simple blood test to improve early detection of the disease.
The scientists are now testing samples from 800 patients and estimate that, with a fully funded development program, the test could be available in the clinic in about four to five years.
“Other cancer experts have said the research is “promising,” but more work is needed to claim the test could be used to screen for early breast cancer,” said Al Sanchez, Jr., president of AMARC Enterprises.
With breast cancer being the number one cancer killing women in the United States, the ability to know years sooner would not only save lives of those patients, but help them be around for years to come for their loved ones.
Suggested Interview Questions:
- Current testing uses blood marker in many cancers, how is this any different? What antigens are you exactly looking for that is different than hundreds of other tests?
- This and other approaches like it have been around and are currently being used that are looking not at the antigen but the cancer cell precursors, which is far more exact than a blood test. Inflammatory markers a better indication of not only cancer but other degenerative diseases and conditions. How is this different and who came up with “the different approach”?
- Who sent this notice out and it is more likely just another info release to drive interest and or funding to a research organization/company that is developing this so that they can show or help their ROI, as somebody had to fund this. Who was it?
- When one out of 2.3 women get breast cancer these days, how is this really going to have a positive impact when we already know cancer is now a global pandemic situation/disease?
- Your company partners with a research laboratory in NY to create and distribute nutritional supplements with Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes like Poly-MVA. How did this product come about, how long has it been in use, and how did you become involved with it?
- What exactly is Poly-MVA, and what are the benefits it may provide? What makes it unique/special, versus simply taking the individual ingredients it contains?
- How does Poly-MVA work within the body, and how does this provide an energy source for our cells?
- Why do people and animals take Poly-MVA? Is it only good for specific challenges, or can it also be used a daily tonic for overall health?
- I have seen on several websites that Poly-MVA is often associated with an integrative approach to cancer and degenerative disease. What does it provide the body that makes it an effective part of a treatment regimen? Does it impact the effectiveness of any conventional treatments an individual might choose to undergo?
- Ok, so a lot of people will want to know….is it safe? Are there any contraindications with medications, other supplements or other things an individual may be taking into their body? Is there anything that further increases its effectiveness?
- What has been the response from the medical community, both in general and in approaches to specific diseases and health challenges?
- Ok, so summarize for us how cellular energy affects our health, what we can do to maximize it, and the role that Poly-MVA as part of an overall lifestyle can play.
ABOUT AL SANCHEZ, JR:
Al Sanchez, Jr. has worn many hats over the years, including college instructor, researcher, and entrepreneur, and is the current president of AMARC Enterprises (worldwide distributors of Lipoic Acid Mineral Complexes, sold in supplement form as Poly-MVA).
After losing his mother, sister, and maternal grandmother to colon cancer, he committed to joining his family, friends and colleagues in the quest to find better options, access to information, treatments – and ultimately a cure for those stricken with cancer and other health challenges. Al speaks at health conferences throughout the world, where he shares with audiences his scientific presentations on degenerative disease and his in-depth experiences and knowledge of health that have helped many people find answers, hope and a better quality of life.
He, like so many others, is dedicated to the belief that we can vastly improve the health of the world with educated choices, improved diet and lifestyle, combined with natural products that can change live – especially in cancer and other degenerative diseases – one person at a time.
Al is also an avid supporter of non-profits involved in seeking to educate the public on effective integrative approaches to cancer, including the Foundation for Advancement in Cancer Research, which has often supported research with Poly-MVA.
