BTA test designed to detect proteins that are released by reproduction of bladder cancer tumor cells and its interpretation does not require a technician or specialist. The BTA test significantly identifies superficial (surface) bladder cancer tumors by changing color. The top of the BTA test strip turns yellow when positive for bladder cancer and it turns green when negative. The BTA stat test is an immunologic assay that can be used to identify recurrent bladder cancer.

The FDP test detects the breakdown products of blood-clotting proteins (fibrin, fibrinogen), which are increased in the urine in the presence of bladder cancer. The NMP22 assay measures specific proteins from the cell center. It can detect transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) with a sensitivity of roughly 67%, meaning that 67% of existing TCCs are detected. The NMP22 assay is also more importantly able to predict the recurrence of bladder cancer.

Amas test this can be the first test choice to check for breast cancer. The AMAS test detects the malignant growth only and is more sensitive than mammograms. Further tests are warranted however if the AMAS is positive for cancer as it does not indicate where the cancer is located, only that there is cancer within the body. AMAS test can also be used to follow breast cancer patients who are in remission, since the AMAS returns to normal within 3 months after breast cancer tumor (and metastases, if present) are removed or eradicated. Ductal lavage is a new test developed by Dr. Susan Love. It is a simple blood test and an infrared imaging system that samples the lining of ducts of the breast to see what the cells are doing and to detect precancerous abnormalities or cancer cells. It has been dubbed pap smear for the breast because, like the test for cervical cancer, it is a non-surgical approach to identifying abnormal cells, potentially making it possible to find them when they are just thinking about becoming cancer.

Mammography/Thermography the latest cancer information involves two new forms of mammography are making news on detecting breast cancers: Computed Tomography Laser Mammography (CTLM) and Full Field Digital Mammography. The CTLM system uses state-of-the-art laser technology, a special array of detectors and proprietary computed algorithms. The CTLM system does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation or require breast compression. Digital mammography still uses low energy x-rays that pass through the breast exactly like conventional mammograms but are recorded by means of an electronic digital detector instead of the film. This electronic image can be displayed on a video monitor like a TV or printed onto film. The radiologist can manipulate the digital mammogram electronically to magnify an area, change contrast, or alter the brightness.

Another test being developed is a blood test to detect a protein marker for breast cancer. The test apparently can pick up cancerous tumors and precancerous conditions. Thermography can determine precancerous changes at an earlier, and theoretically more treatable, stage months or even years before those changes would be felt as a lump or be visible on a mammogram, and all without radiation. Thermography uses thermal imaging which detects new blood vessels and chemical changes associated with a tumors genesis and growth.

Other Imaging Methods for Breast Cancer Detection: There also a number of other imaging methods available for detecting breast cancer. At present, they are used mainly in cancer research studies, and sometimes to get more information about a tumor found by another method. Each of these new methods generates a computerized image that the doctor can analyze for the presence of an abnormal breast lump. These include: Scintigraphy [sin-TOG-ra-fee] Also called scintimammography, this test uses a special camera to show where a tracer (a radioactive chemical) has adhered to a cancer tumor. A scanner is then used to see if the breast lump has picked up more of the radioactive material than the rest of the breast tissue.

PET scan
Cancer cells grow fast especially breast cancer cells faster than other cells, so they use up energy faster, too. To measure how fast glucose (the bodys fuel) is being used, a tracer (radioactive glucose) is injected into the body and scanned with a positron emission tomography (PET) machine. The PET machine detects how fast the glucose is being used. If it is being used up faster in certain places, it may indicate the presence of a cancerous tumor.

PreGen-26 is a new DNA test for colon/colorectal cancer. It is a test to detect the presence of actual disease in people with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). In active colon/colorectal cancer, DNA from cancer tumors is shed into the colon and carried out of the body in stool. Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is a cancer marker to screen for colon/colorectal cancer it is associated with digestive tract cancers. It is recommended for those with frequent constipation, diarrhea or bleeding piles for an initial diagnostic tool.
