Ginger Meyers, the Director of Clinical Affairs for Power3 Medical Inc. in Houston, notes that in several news reports, Roberts' cancer was not immediately picked up on 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  and was only diagnosed after several invasive exams, including a biopsy. In fact, according to Meyers, Roberts' cancer may have developed several years ago, but has only now grown to the size where it can be detected. This reflects the critical need for earlier detection of breast cancer, which devastates the lives of hundreds of thousands of American women and their families every year.

Scientists at Power3, in conjunction with Mercy Hospital Women's Center, found that they could develop a test for breast cancer using blood serum Blood serum
A component of blood.

the residual fluid of blood after clotting has occurred. It is plasma after the fibrinogen has been removed.
. This test, called BC-SeraPro[TM], analyzes biomarkers, or specific proteins, that indicate the difference between normal breast tissue, a benign tumor benign tumor
n.
A tumor that does not metastasize or invade and destroy adjacent normal tissue.


Benign tumor
An abnormal proliferation of cells that does not spread to other parts of the body.
, and a cancerous tumor.

Ginger Meyers can discuss:

* How early is early? What is the definition of early breast cancer and the role of biomarkers in early detection;

* How a simple blood test can help physicians diagnose cancer much earlier than current standards of detection;

* What would a blood test for breast cancer mean to women across the world and what impact it could have in breast cancer survival.

Meyers and her team at Power3 have spent the better part of two decades researching biomarkers and developing diagnostic tools. Meyers, a Registered Respiratory Therapist, has an Associates Degree in Allied Health Sciences and 26 years of clinical and healthcare management experience. She is articulate and knowledgeable in this area and can help your audience understand how early detection can save millions of lives.
