MIT Professor Angela Belcher developed a technology that detects ovarian cancer before it spreads
curiositymission.com
“Angie’s team is working toward that goal. Together with scientists at Johns Hopkins University, Angie is developing ways to scan entire fallopian tubes, not just small samples, to catch the earliest signs of disease and help women manage their risk of developing ovarian cancer. At the same time, her lab is designing tiny particles that can both find and fight cancer… read more

@A MyBCTeam Member. Thank you friend.
I'm thinking perhaps the AI is getting a bit too big for his britches. It has always sounded snarky to me but who's to say what is helpful here? Certainly not that thing.
If all cancers could be found earlier, that would be marvelous. Perhaps, one day that will be possible. I never missed a mammogram, but once BC was detected, the growth rate indicated I had already had it between 8-10 years. There were no outward symptoms, in my case.
It seems cancer is discovered only after some sort of discomfort or unusual symptoms arise. If patients don’t complain doctors don’t investigate. There is some whispering in the trees that a new blood test might result in early detection, and possibly a new vaccine could prevent cancer from developing at all.
Keep your fingers crossed!
@A MyBCTeam Member I appreciate these articles, they are all about reproductive cancers...
The more informed we are more of us know what to watch out for...🤷🏼

I will add Natera it is the standard, high-sensitivity test for tracking recurrence ❤️
@A MyBCTeam Member I only wish they had the Natera testing back in 2016.
When I had stage 1 went about business and even missed three years of mamo's, my last one was in 2020 then covid hit. I caught the delta strain in 2021 and I believe this is when cancer returned. I never had the vaccine but did have my first ever FLU shot at my 2020 appointment. To be honest I believe covid had something to do with cancer coming back. Just my opinion ❤️Everyone with any stage cancer should automatically be screened by Natera and all insurances should pay for testing. You can also pay out of pocket, it is a lot less than insurance pays.
