"I've created a paper sensor and it can detect pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer and lung cancer," Andraka told WBAL News.

The filter paper he designed is coated atom-sized carbon tubes that can detect mesothelin, a protein that is found in very high levels in the blood of people who have pancreatic cancer. |

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. Stupid sheeple. Its not their fault they have been programed since they were little kids. |

But also- if a 15 year old figured this out... I dunno... makes you wonder.... Are they really trying to find ways to detect cancer early? Thank god ONE out of TWO FUCKING HUNDRED scientists he asked let this boy test the strips in his lab. My grandfather died of pancreatic cancer. It was fucking awful. It's a terrible form of cancer. |
