Stand by to be sued when that 10th guy comes down with clinical cancer.

Goldseeker...As it stands now 5 out of ten people are having their prostates removed for no reason at all. I would surely hope that Abbott is getting Sued by 5 out of 10 people with the current PSA test that is CRAP for false tests.

Recaf could help Abbott in a big way!

The more I look at these studies, the less likely I feel that Abbott will continue the partnership with BOCX. It has now been 16 months and we are getting down to the wire. I fully understand that Abbott truly wants to reduce the impact of false positives with their PSA tests. There seems to be a problem with RECAF and prostate cancer. It is not able to get the sensitivity up without including a bunch of false positives, exactly what Abbott is wanting to get rid of in the first place. You raise the bar for false positives and you start to miss cancers.

It is in contrast to the study for breast cancer that was released with both high sensitivity and a low rate of false positives. Too bad Abbott is not first looking at breast cancer because I think RECAF would do well there if the study was accurate. What is going to happen is that Abbott is going to get discouraged with the attempt at prostate cancer and toss in the towel.

Moro's last effort at a press release and the conference got almost no bump at all and from what I sensed, most of the buying occurred by readers of this board. We are now back to 60 cents with the 50's looming. It doesn't look good, in fact very discouraging.
