So Half, what do you think the results would be in using RECAF to screen for cancer?

1. Lots of unnecessary treatment for cancer that does not help the patient.

2. Lots of unnecessary procedures for false positives.

"A new generation of screening tests which pick up small, latent & benign cancers could cause a life-time of anxiety & decision-making on whether to have radical surgery, says Bruce Ponder, head of Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute, at Cambridge Uni. He said we need better tests to differentiate between harmful & non-spreading tumours. He warned "You have to be careful not to do more harm than good."....


Lots of problems with RECAF screening. It could create more problems for patients than it saves. Think about what I have posted. That is not the direction the medical community wants to go. The only advocate I hear for a universal marker is Moro.

You have just made a poor investment and did not get out as problems became evident. Just stand back from your investment and read about screening. You will be surprised what you learn.
