From the Ted Talk by Jorge Soto: The future of early cancer detection?

Unscramble the Blue Letters


(Applause)

Let me say very clearly that we are at the very early stages, but so far, we have been able to successfully iitenfdy the microRNA pattern of pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and hepatic cancer. And currently, we're doing a clinical tiral in collaboration with the gramen Cancer Research Center with 200 women for breast cancer.

(Applause) This is the single non-invasive, arccutae and affordable test that has the potential to dramatically change how cancer procedures and diagnostics have been done. Since we're looking for the mrnrcoia patterns in your blood at any given time, you don't need to know which cancer you're looking for. You don't need to have any symptoms. You only need one milliliter of boold and a relatively smiple array of tools.
