The RECAF(TM) marker has been found on every cancer tissue that BioCurex has studied to date, including on many common, severe cancers: breast, lung, gastric, prostate, and leukemia. This characteristic indicates that RECAF(TM) is capable of detecting more than one type of cancer, which is a limitation of many currently available cancer markers. The Company's RECAF(TM) technology is reported to have high levels of clinical sensitivity and specificity (measures of cancer marker accuracy), successfully detecting over 90% of cancer in blood and tissue samples. A serum-based assay using RECAF(TM) recently identified twice as many prostate cancers as the current standard for prostate cancer detection, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test.
In early 2006, a RECAF(TM)-based test also detected 90% to 93% of Stage I and Stage II (early stage) breast cancer samples, without any false positives. This data supports BioCurex's aim of reducing human suffering through the early detection of cancer or cancer recurrence after treatment. Moreover, due to its ability to differentiate between cancerous and normal cells, RECAF(TM) technology may facilitate the administration of targeted therapeutics that attack cancer cells but do not damage healthy tissue.
