Mutation, and alterations when your cells divide is not an easy thing to "cure".

Anyone that has dealt with cancer would say if the test works, it would be a godsend for a lot of families.

Doesn't look like they were all that smart after all. Sometimes greed burns.

Beware of the small print, especially the "send in a spit sample" DNA ones. False positives are common. Happened to my Stepdad. The test came back positive for him. Freaked him out for several weeks until his Doctor confirmed he didn't have cancer. The small print warns about both false positives and false negatives.

Think about it...a company promises to identify cancer or cancer risks.
If they give a false negative...and cause someone not to get proper cancer screening...they lose a major lawsuit
If they give a false positive...people get proper screening and are relieved to find out they don't have cancer...people don't sue the company for false positives.

Either way, these tests are not perfect, and the companies readily admit it.

Sounds a lot like the Theranos fraud case.

CEO still being bars for making similar claims.

Whole thing was a sham

Not very accurate. Bongino does it which is where i heard about it. Did some investigation and decided against it.

Wow, just got declined for an MRI by - an AI pre-screening company. "no medical need" but ordered by a doctor! LoL folks. Ain't going to get any better. AI puts you on the exclusion list - too bad.

Heart scan?

I so my doctor recommended it as well. Only cost $100 and I paid it out of my HSA.


If it's really an MRI, find out the cash price which you could pay if you have a health savings plan.
