A simple new blood test that can catch cancer early | Jimmy Lin

Jimmy Lin is developing technologies to catch cancer months to years before current methods. He shares a breakthrough technique that looks for small signals of cancer's presence via a simple blood test, detecting the recurrence of some forms of the disease 100 days earlier than traditional methods. It could be a ray of hope in a fight where early detection makes all the difference.

This is really good news. In January I hit the 5 year mark for a leukemia I discovered at stage 4. I was lucky. I saw so many children at the clinic and in the hospital who were also dealing with late stage cancer. It breaks one's heart. Maybe these discoveries will prevent children from needing such harsh treatment. Thanks for sharing TED, and giving us hope.

@@rich8381 AMAS test just seems to detect Antibodys wich are build during cancer, while liquid biopsy can detect DNA and so further determin which kind of cancer you have. Also AMAS test does have little published evidence from independent sources.

@@Chris-me6hg it is fda approved and that takes years to do so. Well the good news is they both cam detect well before you have it which is important. I was told by the place they can tell if it's from a small mass that won't show up on scans or if they are circulating cells. Where can this test be done?

@rich8381 5 жыл бұрын

@@Chris-me6hg one of the Drs called me yesterday and I asked him about the various tests. He told me the difference between the various ones. Said CTC test is the best then AMAS, Nagalase and liquid biopsy. However at this point liquid biopsy is the most promising he said. They did a trial in 5 patience with stage 3 and 4 cancer and got skunked in the liquid biopsy. However he said the same can be said for all of them. Nagalase he said would give off false positives also.. CTC he said is about 85% accurate and is not good enough for there hospital. People see they have circulating tumor cells and freak out however most people do. It's just a matter if you immune system is eradicating them or not.

I hear amazing things about Bacteriophages (Tblisi, Georgia). Could it be possible to utilize "designer" Phages to focus in on the cancer cells that current treatments leave behind as mentioned in this vid? My amateur understanding of this biology is that everything that dies is eaten by something. If that food was original a bacteria/virus, then the organism that ate it builds up immunity (a kind of self-vaccination or exposure-therapy thing) e.g. antibiotic resistance build up or in the case of Phages, a Yin-cure to every Yang-illness. Simplified and wrong? Probably. Anyway, (for Science!) why not feed dead/live resistant cancer cells to Phages (+methodology) and determine if can be used to devour the sneaky little buggers left behind (and at the same time, not let the Umbrella Corporations patent=OWN all of life)

while doing all of this ground breaking treatment, wouldn't it be nice if patients were also utilizing the most amazing super foods, teas and detoxing etc to support the overall health of the body. I wish he would talk about the diet of his patients, too. I think it is a huge key that is overlooked all of the time. The other supportive key could be Reiki and other energetic healing modalities. Wouldn't it be nice if we healed will all tools available and study what combinations work best together to fight cancer?
