Let's look at Radient Pharmaceuticals on your "DD source."
www.bioportfolio.com/corporate/company/12463/Radient-Pharmaceuticals-Corporation.html
"Headquartered in Tustin, California, Radient Pharmaceuticals Corporation is an integrated pharmaceutical company devoted to the research, development, manufacturing, and marketing of diagnostic and premium skin care products. "
First of all, they are not headquartered anywhere -- there is no physical office. If anything, they are headquartered wherever MacLellan is at the moment. Second, they haven't done anything with "skin care products" since they lost Jade in 2009. Finally, no mention of cancer? According to YOUR DD source, Radient no longer has a cancer test.
Conclusion: just because Bioportfolio.com has the word "lung cancer test" in their description of a company does NOT mean that company is working on a lung cancer test today. But, by all means, anyone who wants the final answer on this question should contact Provista and ask. They answer emails, they answer their phone, they have a physical location, THEY OPERATE.
