Breast Cancer Awareness and BioCurex Inc.
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif., Oct. 22, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Biocurex Inc. (OTCBB:BOCX) is developing basic techniques using its patented technology that could be applied effectively to assist the diagnosis of breast cancer, as well as other cancers. Further, its core technology could also find use in the treatment of breast cancers as well.
Breast and lung cancers are the most common form of cancer in women in the United States and worldwide. It is estimated that breast cancer will be newly diagnosed every three minutes, and a woman will die from breast cancer every 13 minutes in the United States. One out of nine women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.
To date, an invasive biopsy is the only way to determine if a potential trouble spot is cancerous or benign. A non-invasive blood test would be the first, preferred diagnostic tool to predict whether a breast tumor is cancerous. Also, the test could be used as a measuring tool to monitor the success of chemotherapy, radiation and other drug treatments for aggressive cancers. It would then be used with the other tools that physicians use to determine how aggressively to treat breast cancer patients. These include the staging system that relies on tumor size and presence of cancer cells in nearby lymph nodes, and tests for estrogen receptors that determine whether a cancer might be susceptible to certain drugs. But all these tests, like other protein biomarkers that have been considered for breast cancer, don't consistently give a precise prognosis. However, BioCurex's RECAF technology can specifically find a cancer marker on breast cancer cells. The technology can then be used to stain tissue samples in conventional slides examined under the microscope; and also can be used in a simplified highly sensitive blood tests to 'detect' the presence of cancer molecules which have come from the breast cancer itself. The test targets the receptor (RECAF), which is over-expressed in a variety of cancers including breast, lung, stomach, colorectal and others. Further, using antibodies, RECAF may be targeted to kill cancer cells. Abgenix (Nasdaq:ABGX) is a company also focused in the area of antibody management of cancers and recently announced a venture with AstraZeneca. (Therapeutic advances continue in many areas of breast cancer exemplified by Novartis (Nasdaq:NVS) cancer drug Femara which showed a reduction in the recurrence of breast cancer in older women who had completed standard therapy.)
The benefits of early detection in the fight against breast cancer have been well documented. Studies have shown that breast cancers are missed on a conventional mammogram and the RECAF technology could be combined with modern imaging technology such as provided by GE Medical Systems to provide earlier and more reliable detection - a 'modified mammography'.
The various tests that BioCurex Inc is developing should help ensure that physicians and patients have the most accurate information when deciding on the best course of treatment for this life-threatening disease. We are excited to be taking these steps toward providing healthcare professionals and patients with the advanced technology required in the fight against breast cancer.
About BioCurex:
BioCurex, Inc. is a biotechnology company that is developing products based on patented/proprietary technology in the areas of cancer diagnosis, tumor imaging ad therapeutics. The technology identifies a cancer marker known as RECAF(tm), which is found on malignant cells from a variety of cancer types but is absent in most normal or benign cells. The Histo-RECAF(tm) kits provide proof of concept for the RECAF technology. Detailed information about BioCurex may be obtained from its website.

Management Commentary
Mr. Dan Cooke, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, "During fiscal 2003, Next Inc. has achieved significant milestones amongst which are the completion of the Lil Fan acquisition and the refinancing of the Company's bank lines of credit to $8 million. The Company's revenue is growing at a rate of more than 50% over prior year and we expect that general pattern to continue. Next also expanded its customer base with additional strong national merchants; significantly increased existing customer sales over last year with some customers more than tripling their business; and enhanced product lines. Mr. Cooke also stated that "Next will continue to aggressively pursue additional acquisitions to strategically enhance its revenue, profitability and distribution base."
Fiscal 2003 and 2004 Outlook
The Company expects that the fiscal year ending November 30, 2003 will have revenue of approximately $20 million and Pre-Tax earnings of approximately $700,000. The fourth quarter has historically been the Company's best quarter for sales and profits. The Company is expected to continue its internally generated revenue growth (prior to additional acquisitions) of approximately 40% or greater for fiscal 2004 with pre-tax income increasing to approximately $2 million in fiscal 2004. The significant increase in income is the realization of incremental profits as Next's revenues outpace its fixed overhead.
