[quote:Anonymous Coward 16564580:MV8xODc3NDM3XzMxMzM3NzkxXzZDQUUyQURG] Will just be used to justify throwing people to the cancer wolves sooner. The so called cancer treatments will kill you within 5 years. By the time you figure this out it is to late. As soon as someone tells you the cure to cancer you will jump all over them as a conspiracy theorist. It's kinda like finding the cure to stomach ulcers was not greeted with happiness by the medical mafia. :yoda: Stupid sheeple. Its not their fault they have been programed since they were little kids. [/quote]
Original Message
He is only a freshman at North County High School in Anne Arundel County.
However, 15-year-old Jack Andraka is being recognized for developing what may become an effective way to detect pancreatic cancer.
"I've created a paper sensor and it can detect pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and lung cancer," Andraka told WBAL News.
"Basically it costs 3-cents and takes about five minutes to run, so ti can be used in routine screenings, and I found that it could detect the cancer before it became invasive, and your chance of survival is much greater before it becomes invasive."
