Does anyone know anything about this test?


. Cancer Screening Test. Today a check-up in your physician¹s office
includes a history, a physical examination and selected laboratory
tests aimed at detecting potential problems including cancer. It will
now include an AMAS test, and thus might defer using a chest X-ray,
proctoscope, CT scan, pap smear, and even mammography. These cancer
screens will not be needed unless the AMAS test is abnormal.
2. A Cancer Monitoring Test. After cancer has been treated both the
patient and the doctor want to know if the cancer has been cured or if
some malignant cells are still in the body. The AMAS test can answer
this dilemma. If there is cancer present, the AMAS test remains
elevated.
3. In Differential Diagnosis. At times a shadow on a chest X-ray or a spot
in the liver or kidney on a CT scan are suspicious for cancer and only
a biopsy can tell. That is an invasive procedure. The AMAS test can
tell you if the tissue is malignant. If the AMAS is normal, the lesion
in question is not a cancer.
To date, over 1000 patients with breast cancer have been studied using the
AMAS test. It has been used to tell if the cancer has been cured. New data
suggests that the breast cancer cannot be said to be in remission unless the
AMAS test returns to normal. AMAS has found breast cancer as small as a
pencil dot long before a mammogram can show it.

The AMAS detects all common cancers and the uncommon ones too. Studies on
more than 6000 patients show the sensitivity of AMAS to be greater than 95%.
The false positive rate and false negative rates are about 1% of the total,
making the specificity about 99%.

Dr. Bogash will probably receive the Nobel Prize for this unique discovery
that will save hundreds of thousands of lives.
