Testing For Cancer It's a test that accurately answers one very simple question: Is there cancer present in the body? When I gave some details about a blood test called the Anti- Malignin Antibody in Serum (AMAS) in the e-Alert "Getting Specific" (3/2/04), I received quite a few e-mails asking for more information. Some wanted to know where they could find the test. Others wondered why their doctors didn't know about such a test. And one member who calls himself Rx had this straightforward question: "How effective is the AMAS test in determining prostate cancer?" According to William Campbell Douglass, M.D., the AMAS test can detect all types of cancer cells - even those that are in early development. Dr. Douglass says the test has, "an accuracy rate of greater than 95 percent. With a second test, the accuracy is greater than 99 percent. False positive (and false negative) rates are less than 1 percent." But the test will only determine that cancer of some type is present. So to specifically answer Rx's question: A positive AMAS test would need to be combined with at least two positive PSA tests in order to determine the likelihood of prostate cancer. If your doctor hasn't heard about the AMAS test, don't be surprised. Dr. Douglass stays on top of the cutting edge of alternative medical breakthroughs that most mainstream doctors don't hear about until long after they're introduced.
