Re: New Radiotracer Can Identify Nearly 30 Types of Cancer
#2There are no 30 types of cancer. Or 200, or 2. The catalog of cancer types is all marketing to sell a variety of treatments and products. Cancer is damaged cells. The "type" is simply a reference to their location. It doesn't matter where the "cancer" is. It's there because that's where the lymphatic system is backed up from the acidic state of the body. The Modern Medicine cartel has no answers, just more acid hits in the form of chemo, radiation, etc. While the solution is rather simple, and include an intake of organic ripe fruits combined with periods of water and dry fasting and about 15 or so herbs. Also highly effective against tumors is Aronia + Grape juice fasting.

#3That CT image of the breast cancer patient... Ouch. Not easy to look at.

#4I was diagnosed with NET cancer recently and my doctor incorrectly ordered the older radiotracer scan. It only showed 1/2 of my tumors, missing the most important primary tumor. This newer scan/radiotracer showed double the number of tumors including the most important step of finding the primary. I will soon have cytoreduction surgery to remove the tumors. Unless you have other biomarkers showing cancer, the issue for this scan is cost - $2-5K. You would not do it casually. Contact me if you want to see a side by side comparison of this new scan beside an older one.

#5Anyone have any experience getting tested for cancer when marked as "healthy"? I contacted my PCP and some other random places asking to get a cancer screening and nobody would give me the time of day - "that's not done".
At most they said they would do a blood test which checks for a couple types of cancer. I asked if I could get a CT and have a professional go over it. nope. But something like this tracer is what I'd like to do.

#6Really impressive images with apparently regular PET-scans, so could be available for general use rather quickly. It's advances like this that enable medicine.

#7Have been chatting with a radiation oncologist about this. His response: "imaging appears to be the same as F18-FDG-based PET. Just a bit more convenient since the patient doesn't need a normal blood sugar. And prob 2-10x the price"

Out of curiosity: What would you be willing to pay for it? Did you mention you pay yourself? Or do you expect your healthcare provider to cover the thousands of dollars for tests without any indication?

They don't for good reason. Full body scans always turn up unexplained growths which need to be biopsied, causing pain/suffering/complications often resulting in a non-cancerous result.
Even the wealthiest individuals with personal doctors rarely perform full body scans for that reason.

It’s disgusting how little freedom there is in this area. Even if a doctor wanted to do this for you, they would face criticism from their peers. It’s a form of doublespeak when the messaging is “early detection is key” but you can’t actually use the best tools available until you are sick. The response that people could over react on marginal cases and do more harm if they scan early is incidental- if they scanned more healthy people they would learn how to deal with marginal cases better. I think your only hope is randomly becoming friends with a doctor who self experiments and thinks you are trust worthy enough to let in on it. I don’t even know how possible that is because the drugs administered are probably well controlled, and the machines might be logging information which makes it hard to do privately. Perhaps this is a good candidate for a medical tourist resort start up.
