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."

It's hilarious how these high school kids do shit that costs almost nothing meanwhile these giant companies with massive money and tons of "really smart" employees don't do it

I'm glad the kid mentioned how cheap it was. ha ha I can just see the medical equipment companies in a rage. "Oh, no, no, it will cost much, much, more than that! Oh, yes. And the proceedure will be very expensive."
