"A variety of malignancies were tested, including lung, breast and gastrointestinal cancers."
Significance: currently there are NO MARKERS for lung or gastrointestinal cancer.
"These results are extremely significant because it is much easier and less expensive to screen for cancer using saliva samples than serum samples. We believe we can trim the assay to work even better, but even at these levels we can lower the threshold above which we say a patient is positive for cancer, thus increasing the sensitivity to close to 100%. Then a serum test can be run on the saliva positive cases to eliminate many if not most of the potential false positives."
Significance: It is a new discovery and will be tweeked to eliminate any false positives.
"Our two organizations are now coordinating future plans to extend these results in preparation to launching a pilot cancer screening program using the RECAF tests."
Significance: They are gearing up toward testing a variety of cancers in different stages.
Goldsekers rebuttal: "Opportunity, they were testing ADVANCED stage cancers and only detected 89%. At that stage of cancer, you probably be that accurate with a doctors exam. The huge question is why did Dr. Pennington use advanced stage patients? You could easily conclude that earlier stage patients were not included in the study because too many would not test positive.
Significance: Why would Goshen just announce a pilot study to collect further data to disciminate all stages of cancer if they were not confident? Gold cleary is insinuating that goshen intentionally left out early cancer. They stated they are moving forward with a much larger sample set. What does Goshen get out out of this other than notoriety. They are not paid one cent for their contributions. They only get the satisfaction of helping those with cancer.
"If the previous findings are confirmed in early stage disease, then a new paradigm for screening for common cancers will exist."
Significance: Worldwide acceptance
