LT, I know this is difficult to think about but the reason some of the experts do not desire to have new more sensitive methods to detecting cancer is that it will cause a lot of unnecessary operations. Some patients will in fact die from those unnecessary operations.

As I have stated before, for every cancer found with RECAF, how many of those need to be treated. If they are found, they will most likely be treated regardless if the cancer will not bother them. Many times more will have false positive results and also will be subjected to multiple tests and the number of false positives from those additional tests will be huge leading to more unnecesary procedures and operations.

The question you have to ask is this. If RECAF had helped find ovarian cancer and you don't really know if they would have actually found the cancer, would have saving one life been worth others that may die from the unnecessary operations a sensitive test like RECAF may cause. Those are tough words but things to think about.

BTW LT, the HaaH marker is indeed quite accurate with similar results to RECAF.
