A 15-year-old schoolboy could save millions of lives after he invented a new, low-cost test that can detect the early stages of a deadly form of cancer.

Jack Andraka from Crownsville, Maryland, developed a simple dip-stick test for levels of mesothelin, a biomarker for early stage pancreatic cancer found in blood and urine.

It promises to revolutionise treatment of the disease, which currently kills 19 out of 20 sufferers after five years – largely because its so difficult to detect until its final stages.

      tell this guy to KEEP THIS AWAY FROM BIG PHARMA

      they do not want people to be healed.

      make and sell the test yourself – more people will get it, and you will have a good career.

      big pharma will mothball it along with all the other cures like HEMP OIL.
