A 15- year old teenager from Crownsville, Maryland, called Jack Andraka, is the Teen Prodigy of Pancreatic Cancer who invented a new method to detect a lethal cancer.<\/p>\n
Namely, this teenager started to work on this issue after the death of a close friend of his, caused by pancreatic cancer. As a result of this tragedy, Jack\u2019s resolution was to be more proactive rather than just accepting the situation without trying to change it.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths (34, 000 taken lives so far) due to its late detection. Moreover, the popular tests are 60 years old and expensive ($ 800) testing methods which miss 30% of all pancreatic cancers.<\/p>\n
Jack focused on the fact that the main problem was a lack of early detection tests, so he came up with a test that is capable of detecting cancer in its earliest stage.<\/p>\n
Jack\u2019s test a 100 % accurate cancer test that costs 3 cents and takes only 5 minutes using Google and Wikipedia-the two most used online resources, available almost to everyone who has an internet connection.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the test invented by this remarkable young boy is 168 times faster, 26,000 times cheaper and 400 times more sensitive than the current standard of detection.<\/p>\n
The discovery by the young boy can be of great importance in cancer treatments, and it undoubtedly put cancer industry to shame.<\/p>\n
