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."More at [ link to www.wbal.com]
