St. George's - the capital and largest city of Grenada capital of Grenada Grenada - an island state in the West Indies in the southeastern Caribbean Sea; an independent state within the British Commonwealth Hospital and Medical School and Professor at Brunel Institute of Cancer Genetics & Pharmacogenomics and his research team in the UK have commenced a new study, examining the role of mammary mammary /mam·ma·ry/ (mam´ah-re) pertaining to the mammary gland, or breast. mam·ma·ry adj.

This study has been approved by the Ethics' Committee at St. George's Hospital Medical School in London. Participants include patients with suspected breast cancer, patients with benign breast disease benign breast disease See Fibroadenoma, Fibrocystic disease, Mastopathy. , healthy volunteers and women who are known to harbor breast cancer causing genes (BRCA-1 or BRCA-2). Professor Mokbel believes that these novel strategies for breast cancer detection will complement screening mammography mammography, diagnostic procedure that uses low-dose X rays to detect abnormalities in the breasts. The early diagnosis of breast cancer made possible by the routine use of mammography for screening women increases a woman's treatment alternatives and improves her , which is regarded as the gold standard screening tool. Furthermore, mammary ductoscopy, using the MastaScope, may complement the role of dynamic thermal analysis in cases where these tests are positive, but anatomical imaging is negative for malignancy. This potential application may help resolve the issue of false-positive results, associated with screening tools based on physiological and biological principles. Researchers hope that if the preliminary results of this study are successful that they can be presented in the fifth European Breast Cancer Conference in France early next year. Lifeline Biotechnologies has been in the process developing the First Warning System for a number of years and already markets the MastaScope. "We look forward to the results of Professor Mokbel's study, as this is a major step in the commercialization and introduction to the market of our First Warning System," said Jim Holmes, chairman of Lifeline.
